New terminal showcases advanced technology, passenger-friendly experience, timeless design.
ORLANDO, Fla. (May 5, 2017) – Orlando International Airport’s new South Terminal C project was honored with a 2017 American Architecture Award by The Chicago Athenaeum at the American Institute of Architects’ Conference on Architecture, held April 27-29 at the Orlando Museum of Art. The project’s design team includes HNTB Corporation serving as architect of record, Fentress Architects as design architect, Schenkel Shultz as general consultant, and associate architects MLM Martin, Baker Barrios and Rhodes+Brito.
Phase 1 of South Terminal C, which is currently under construction, includes a 2.7-million-square-foot domestic and international terminal building comprised of a new 16- gate airside terminal and a landside terminal. The building’s major elements are aligned as a campus connected by “The Boulevard,” which will lead passengers anywhere they need to go while being surrounded by gardens, art, an architectural skylight, interactive media features and innovative retail and concessions. The project is set for completion in 2020.
“Phase 1 of South Terminal C takes travelers to the next level in creating a world-class, technologically advanced, passenger-friendly, culturally sensitive and sustainable terminal,” said HNTB Southeast aviation division leader and project director Bill Brooks, PE. “Our team takes tremendous pride in being recognized with our client and design team for this honor.”
HNTB senior architect J.C. Arteaga, AIA, refers to the project as “a timeless design for future generations to enjoy an enhanced experience of natural light, garden and water that will set a high bar for beauty and efficiency among U.S. airports.”

Fairbanks International Airport Baggage Transport Conveyor Enhanced With Mod Drive™ System
Airports face a host of unique industry challenges, such as meeting efficiency regulations and seeking out the best maintenance practices to reduce costs and keep operations flowing. In today’s current economic climate, any potential cost savings can go a long way.
In 2019, Alaska’s Fairbanks International Airport (FAI) sought to modernize its equipment and operations. They were dissatisfied with the performance of the gearmotors on their baggage transport conveyors and began searching for new suppliers. Regal approached FAI with a solution that could improve equipment performance and simplify maintenance, with the added benefit of energy cost savings: the Hub City® MOD Drive™ system.
