Design Concept — South Terminal Redevelopment Program

  Revised Design Concept

In January 2012, Denver International Airport unveiled a revised design concept for the South Terminal Redevelopment Program. The new design is very similar to the concept that was revealed in July 2010 with changes that afford a number of efficiencies and cost savings while still keeping the design visually stunning.

DIA’s architectural design team — led by Gensler Architects, along with AndersonMasonDale Architects — maintained all of the critical Program elements and refined the original Santiago Calatrava rendering, removing signature elements that were unique to his vision. Design changes include:

• A reduction in the overall square footage of the Program;
• A reduction in the size of the train station and the amount of structural steel planned for that project;
• The train station platform canopy has been extended and its shape and look-and-feel have been revised;
• The hotel will be one floor shorter than the original and has a more efficient design;
• The current design will be built to meet a $500 million budget, rather than the original estimated cost of $650 million.
