The renovation and expansion of the 46-year-old Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, North Satellite, located in SeaTac WA presented unique challenges to the design and contracting team. Working with AECOM/Fentress architects and the General Contractor. Northwest Partitions conducted a massive reworking of an active and busy airport terminal.
This $650,000,000 plus, two phase mega project expanded the North Satellite at SEA by 240-feet and features ten new gates, 12 remodeled gates, 20 dining and retail spaces including a flagship restaurant and an upper-level mezzanine hosting the Alaska Airlines Lounge. Dramatic open space with natural light of the nearly 80-foot-tall Central Marketplace enhances the traveling experience. The renovation and expansion increased the footprint of the north Satellite by 255,000 square feet and the dining and retail tripled to 46,000 square feet.
If size alone were not enough Security and secure access for workers, safety of the traveling public and working up to 100 feet above the finish floor near billions of dollars in jets would make this project a unique challenge. Northwest Partitions constructed the new envelope and interiors around the existing and operational airport structure, secured a LEED Silver rating, completed the project three months early, and significantly under budget.
