SFO COMPLETES AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL TOWER San Francisco International Airport completes the design and construction of a new airport traffic control tower and prepares to transition the facility over to the FAA, which will install air traffic control equipment in the build- ing and conduct training and testing. The new tower will be operational some time in summer 2016. The new tower will provide air traffic controllers with an improved work environment in a structure that meets the latest seismic building codes. The tower's concept design was created by HNTB, with the detailed design work accomplished by Fentress Architects, the design partner with Hensel Phelps on the design-build team. The resulting 221-foot-tall torch- shaped tower and offset control "cab" creates a distinctive form that sets a new design standard. The tower ascends in a graceful flare, with a ribbon of glass running the vertical length —reflecting sunlight during the day and illuminated by interior lighting at night. Located between Terminals 1 and 2, the tower and base building complement the iconic features of SFO's International Terminal.
