Atlanta, GA (August 24, 2016) – Skanska has signed a contract with the city of Atlanta to upgrade and modernize the airside of the Central Passenger Terminal Complex at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.
Skanska, leading a joint venture with FS 360, will create a fresh new look for the airside of the complex consistent with the Maynard H. Jackson International Terminal, which opened in 2012. Skanska FS 360 will upgrade the domestic concourses, train stations and tunnels, installing new metal ceilings, LED lighting, flooring and wayfinding signage, among other renovations.
The complex will remain fully operational, with the majority of the work scheduled to take place between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m. daily. Hartsfield-Jackson is the world’s most traveled airport, and last year became the first airport ever to serve more than 100 million passengers in a single year.
“Air travel in the United States is at an all-time high and as a result the market for aviation construction and renovation continues to expand to meet the growing needs of passengers,” said Scott Cannon, EVP/General Manager of Skanska USA Building for Georgia and South Carolina. “When completed, this modernization project will unify the Central Passenger Terminal Complex and Maynard H. Jackson International Terminal to enhance the customer experience at Hartsfield-Jackson, ensuring it remains globally competitive.”
Construction on the $23.2 million project will start in August, and the work is expected to be complete in early 2019.
