HUNTSVILLE – While the news around air travel has not been the best in recent days, there is some good news from Huntsville International Airport for travelers.
And the good news is the completion of some $14 million in renovations on the main concourse by construction firm Robins & Morton.
The project increases accessibility for travelers with the addition of a second elevator and a second set of escalators.
The work also included replacing the elevator and escalators, as well as installing two new sets of stairs.
“We are thrilled to have completed these upgrades at Huntsville International Airport that will enhance the travel experience for our community,” Robins & Morton Division Manager Mitch Coley said. “We are grateful to Huntsville-Madison County Airport Authority for their tremendous partnership. These projects reflect our team’s commitment and expertise to complete the upgrades efficiently and with minimal disruption.”
Additionally, a $5.7 million expansion and revamp of the mid-concourse restrooms was completed this summer. The project included the addition of a lactation room for nursing moms.
A set of family restrooms was completed early this year.
These project completions follow additional airport upgrades last year, including work to convert an existing airport parking lot into a rental car return lot.
A new entrance and two canopies were built – one for the rental car facility and another to cover a walkway for customers.
Robins & Morton served as the general contractor for the concourse renovation and restroom upgrade projects. EDT-THA Architecture was the architect for each.
