General contractor Hensel Phelps has won the construction contract for the new terminal lobby and International Arrivals Facility project at Nashville International Airport (BNA). The contract is for the next phase of the BNA Vision plan for the modernization of the airport.
The 440,000 square-foot design-build contract is for $327 million, with construction beginning next fall and expected completion by the end of 2023. The preliminary plans are for higher ceilings, a pedestrian bridge to parking facilities and a central marketplace, in addition to expanded security lanes.
“This contract award marks the start of the sixth and largest BNA Vision component,” said Dr. A. Dexter Samuels, BNA Board of Commissioners chair. “When complete, this project will provide travelers an expanded and visually engaging terminal lobby as well as a state-of-the-art International Arrivals Facility to accommodate future international flights. From a design perspective, we think this will be the most transformative undertaking in the history of this airport.”
