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.”

PAVIX: Proven Winner for All Airport Concrete Infrastructure
International Chem-Crete Corporation (ICC) manufactures and sells PAVIX, a unique line of crystalline waterproofing products that penetrate into the surface of cured concrete to fill and seal pores and capillary voids, creating a long lasting protective zone within the concrete substrate.
Once concrete is treated, water is prevented from penetrating through this protective zone and causing associated damage, such as freeze-thaw cracking, reinforcing steel corrosion, chloride ion penetration, and ASR related cracking.
This white paper discusses how the PAVIX CCC100 technology works and its applications.
