November 2015 airportbusiness 27 Harper Hicks Bateman: Puts Passengers First Harper Hicks Bateman was introduced to the world of aviation by her grandfather, a pilot, who instilled in her a love of travel and a fascination with the industry. She graduated from Louisiana State University with a degree in Architecture and joined Corgan in 2000 in the Aviation Studio. Since that time, she has worked on several aviation project-types, but has found a particular interest in planning. Her objective is to design an enjoyable, stress-free experience for passengers as they move through an airport, with the ultimate goal of creating an efficient and timeless space for both passengers and tenants. Today, Harper is a vice president and is considered an expert in her field. She leads teams on large projects such as the Maynard H. Jackson International Terminal at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, which improved international processing while achieving seamless integration with existing operations, and the DFW Terminal Renewal and Improvement Program, the simultaneous renovation of four terminals that improved passenger processes and tenant operations while maintaining active gates throughout the construction process. For the past 10 years, she has also coordinated Corgan's community involve- ment with Hearts and Hammers, a volunteer effort which helps homeowners in need within the community. DID YOU KNOW?
