PHOENIX— The New North Concourse expansion will reimagine the traveler experience at Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport (PHX), known as America’s Friendliest Airport®.
The new six-gate concourse will feature gate lounges integrated with a variety of food, beverage and retail options, clear wayfinding and a sense of place.
The concourse will include new connections between Terminals 3 and 4 for easier transfers. A lower level will support airport, airline, and vendor operations.
HOK is serving as the design architect and lead structural engineer, with DFDG Architecture as the local architect. The team is working closely with the City of Phoenix to explore innovative design options that create a great experience for both passengers and staff while allowing for future flexibility and growth.
The team’s performance-based approach to sustainability aligns with the City’s and the airport’s commitments to environmental and social responsibility. The project targets a minimum of LEED Silver certification.
"We’re thrilled to collaborate with the City and DFDG on this new concourse,” said Justin Wortman, AIA, regional leader of Aviation + Transportation at HOK. “It will integrate sustainability and technology to set a new standard for aviation."
Construction is scheduled to begin in 2025.
HOK previously designed the 44th Street and Terminal 4 PHX Sky Train® stations for PHX’s LEED Gold-certified PHX Sky Train®.
HOK is a collective of future-forward thinkers and designers who are driven to face the critical challenges of our time. We are dedicated to improving people’s lives, serving our clients and healing the planet. Together, we cultivate a culture of design excellence at the confluence of art and science, blending the power of creative expression with a clear sense of purpose. Current and recent aviation projects include the award-winning new LaGuardia Airport Terminal B, the expansion and modernization of O’Hare Airport’s Terminal 5 and the Salt Lake City International Airport Passenger Terminal.
2022 Charlotte Douglas International Airport Report of Achievement
Giving back to the community is central to what Charlotte Douglas International Airport and its operator, the City of Charlotte Aviation Department, is about, and last year was no different.
Throughout 2022, while recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic, we continued our efforts to have a positive impact on the Charlotte community. Of particular note, we spent the year sharing stories of how Connections Don't Just Happen at the Terminal - from creating homeownership and employment opportunities to supporting economic growth through small-business development and offering outreach programs to help residents understand the Airport better.
This whitepaper highlights the construction projects, initiatives, programs and events that validate Charlotte Douglas as a premier airport.
