The Columbus Regional Airport Authority (CRAA) Board of Directors this week approved a resolution to initiate professional design services for a new John Glenn Columbus International Airport (CMH) terminal with global architecture, design and planning firm Gensler.
Gensler will partner with Moody Nolan, a Columbus-based design firm, on this project to replace the existing terminal that opened in 1958. Even as it ponders investments in the current terminal infrastructure, the CRAA said this provides an opportunity to begin planning now for a new terminal to serve Central Ohio for decades to come.
“We were delighted to receive many strong proposals from the world’s top design firms,” said Joseph Nardone, CRAA president and CEO. “Gensler with Moody Nolan not only brings the most experience and skill, but the highest level of participation with local and diverse business partners. Together with our talented CRAA team we are well-positioned to execute this initial phase of planning.”
Future phases of the project will be determined through design analysis and subject to CRAA Board approval.
