Gunnison Crested Butte Airport Terminal Expansion
The Gunnison-Crested Butte Regional Airport project included an extensive refurbishment, remodel, and redesign of the existing terminal with the goal of improving passenger flow and experience. Improvements included the addition of a restaurant and concessions, updating the security checkpoint and lower-level holding rooms, relocating and expanding restrooms, relocating ground service equipment, and adding an automated baggage processing and claim system. Construction also included installing a geothermal heat exchange system and a solar panel-covered parking lot. The airport remained operational during construction, requiring extensive coordination with Gunnison County, TSA, and FAA officials.
