This project is a redevelopment program for the Denver International Airport’s (DIA) south terminal. The building’s preliminary design has done by Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava . Beside to enhance the airport’s connectivity and functionality, this redevelopment program is also expected to create more than 6,600 jobs.
The building design of the south terminal will accommodate the construction of a signature rail bridge, a terminal train station, a 500-room hotel and conference center and a multi-function civic plaza complete with retail and concessions. A highly integrated and dynamic complex will be formed by the rail station, plaza and hotel which are located directly south of the Jeppeson Terminal.
The architect stated: ‘My goal in designing a train station adjacent to such an iconic structure as the Jeppeson Terminal has been to complement it with a design of independent identity and equal quality. ‘it is my sincere hope that the vision expressed in this proposal not only respects and complements the existing architecture, but enables Denver International Airport to continue to serve as a landmark for centuries to come.’
