Project Description

Due to record-breaking growth in recent years, the Capital Region Airport Commission elected to expand Richmond International Airport’s Concourse A. The two-story, 7-gate expansion at Concourse A creates an additional 60,000 square feet for airline operations, passenger holdrooms, concessions space, and new public restrooms, as well as tenant space for airline ramp operations on the ground level of the concourse.

The largely brick facade exterior features insulated metal wall panels and a curtain wall with floor-to-ceiling glass that allows light to enter the building and provides uninterrupted views of the airfield. Our design also includes all-new LED lighting and bright, continuous terrazzo flooring that is extended from the existing concourse. A vaulted ceiling throughout the circulation areas features continuous clerestory windows that bring daylight into the space, while floor-to-ceiling glass throughout the concourse provides an abundance of natural light and views to the airfield and runway.
