Need Overview

Need Name: Expand Terminal Building Phase 1
Type:
Funding Source:
Category:
Sub Category:
Estimated Cost: $16,000,000
Description: Funding for the project is requested in three parts to allow the State of Alaska Statewide Aviation to respond to other critical airport needs throughout the state. This request (Phase 1-A) will consist of select demolition and the construction of new space. It will include infrastructure system replacements and upgrades.
Priority: Short
Need Origination: Other
Justification: SIT Airport Terminal has severe overcrowding issues in all of the public areas, as well as the baggage makeup (loading/unloading) area. It was originally constructed in 1969, and had modest additions in 1987 and 2003. Interior modifications were made after 2001 to address critical baggage and passenger security screening requirements; these functions displaced approximately 3,400sf of terminal space. The increased air travel over the past two decades, especially in summer months, is also a major contributor to overcrowding in the terminal. Additionally, infrastructure systems are outdated and inefficient per contemporary codes and standards.
