Scheduled to open in 2020, the new three-sto- ry terminal and concourse will replace a total of 29 outdated structures, including three separate terminals and five con- courses. This highly efficient 1.7 million-square-foot terminal building will be located west of the existing complex and have the capacity to serve up to 23 million passengers per year. HOK's design celebrates Utah's natural beauty and land- scape. Floor-to-ceiling glass provides expansive views to the airfield and iconic mountains while earth landscape-toned interior and exterior finishes connects passengers to the local scenery. A soaring interior space called the Canyon features a large-scale sculpture by award-winning artist Gordon Huether as part of an extensive public art program that highlights Salt Lake City's thriving art community. The existing airport will remain operational while the new facilities are constructed. Designed for LEED Gold certification, phase one is expected to be completed in 2020.
