GS&P's relationship with RIC began in 1993 when the firm conducted a long-range planning and development study for the airport. Subsequent construction projects have solidified the relationship. These projects have not only increased the capabilities, capacity and revenue base of the airport, but have also provided passengers a pleasurable traveling experience. The pinnacle of RIC's expansion and renovation program, the new brightly-lit terminal provides two levels and 160,000 square feet of ticketing, baggage claim and concessions space. With soaring 60-foot ceilings, the terminal is divided into five distinct but visually connected areas that make passenger progression from the entry to the gates simple and intuitive. Two concourses branch off of a long central connector and lead through security areas to the departure and arrival gates. Maybe the most impressive aspect of the terminal, however, is the fact that it was built literally at the front door of the existing terminal without ever interrupting airport operations.
