The Salt Lake City International Airport (SLCIA) Terminal Redevelopment is a $4.1-billion investment that replaced the city’s old airport with a LEED Gold certified and operationally improved facility. As the newest hub airport built in the U.S., this project built more than 4 million sq ft of space—including a new terminal, two linear concourses and a rental car facility—to support an estimated 26 million passengers annually. Also included are a two-level elevated roadway, parking lots and a 3,600-stall post-tensioned moment frame parking structure.
“It’s probably the only time in my career, and the only time in most people’s careers, to get the opportunity to build an entirely new airport where an existing airport is also operating,” says Mike Williams, the airport redevelopment program director. “It’s a pretty phenomenal project.”
