kansas city international airport new design

“SOM has designed KCI to be one of the most striking civic destinations in our city, and one of the most inclusive terminals in the world.” “The new terminal is a testament to the strength of the Kansas City region’s demand for travel,” said Pat Klein, Kansas City Director of Aviation. Transforming the travel experience, the 1.1-million-square-foot terminal embodies the region’s rich culture, while elevating the airport into a place that is inclusive and accessible to all. The redevelopment replaces the existing, overcrowded terminals-originally built in 1972-with a single, highly sustainable building that increases annual passenger capacity from 3.8 million to more than 16 million. Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM) is joining the Kansas City Aviation Department, the City of Kansas City, Missouri, developer Edgemoor Infrastructure & Real Estate, and design-builder Clark | Weitz | Clarkson (CWC) for the opening of the new terminal at Kansas City International Airport (KCI). Kansas City International Airport is to date the largest single infrastructure project in the history of Kansas City, the new LEED Gold terminal significantly increases passenger capacity with a design deeply informed by residents throughout the city.
