More than 240 Kansas City-area firms contributed to the project, which generated over 6,500 design- and construction-related jobs.
The result is a modern, convenient, sustainable, and inclusive facility that is uniquely Kansas City and meets the diverse needs of travelers in the region. Community engagement was critical from the project’s outset, with the project team hosting hundreds of project presentations and dozens of community design workshops and open house sessions to inform the community about the project and solicit their input on the new terminal’s design and amenities. The new 40-gate facility, which wholly replaces Kansas City’s existing terminal buildings, features two levels, one for departures and one for arrivals, with clear wayfinding and sightlines, as well as an adjacent 6,200-space parking structure to provide a seamless transition from parking to gate. Through intentional scheduling and planning, the team was able to keep the project on time and on budget through a global pandemic and ensuing supply chain issues.
At $1.5B, the new terminal is the largest single infrastructure project in Kansas City history. The 1.1 million-square-foot project was delivered ahead of schedule and on budget while providing a significant economic boon to the local community.
