Project Description: Terminal Development – Concourse Redevelopment

The development of replacement concourses was identified in the 2018 RNO Airport Master Plan Update as a critical project to improve functional performance, operational efficiency, address the forecasted passenger demand, address changing fleet mixes, and provide adequate passenger and airline spaces. Issues identified include:

• Narrowness of the existing passenger circulation hallways on the concourses,
• Long walking distances from the consolidated checkpoint to the airline gates,
• Small passenger holdrooms and constrained aircraft gate envelopes,
• Lack of available leasable space, especially back-of-the-house space, for tenants,
• Lack of available back-of-the-house space for airport functions,
• Confusing wayfinding due to existing signage and limited line-of-sight between hallways and holdrooms.
• Remaining useful life of a number of building systems, and a Customs & Border Protection facility located outside of the terminal facility.

The 2018 RNO Airport Master Plan Update recommended a three-phase concourse redevelopment program, starting with a replacement Concourse C, followed by a replacement Concourse B, and concluding with the development of a new Concourse D.
