McCarran International Airport Satellite D Expansion and Control Tower

Las Vegas, NV

This project consists of the addition of a new 144,000-sf (13,400-sm), 2-story wing to McCarran Airport's existing Satellite D Terminal. The project includes a Passenger Terminal Wing, an underground Automated Transit System (ATS) Station, and a 157ft (48m) Ramp Control Tower. The underground ATS station supports aircraft loads while employing a shallow structural envelope.

The structural design for the new Terminal and Control Tower includes long span exposed structural steel. The project consists of a Passenger Terminal Wing, an underground Automated Transit System (ATS) Station, and a Ramp Control Tower. The Passenger Terminal features architecturally exposed structural steel skylight trusses that constitute a primary design element. The Control Tower, which reaches a height of 157 ft (48 m), features a complex geometry that bridges the ATS Station below and creates a visually striking design. The underground ATS station supports aircraft loads while employing a shallow structural envelope that minimized both difficult excavation and the transitions in elevation between existing and new construction.
