Aspen/Pitkin County Airport Modernization Project

schematic design phase

The Aspen/Pitkin County Airport is undergoing a modernization project. The project is currently in the schematic design phase, where community input is being gathered to influence the design of the future airport terminal. The design team is working on integrating biophilic design elements, such as views of the mountains and nature, into the terminal. The next phase will involve the contracted architecture firm, ZGF Architects, developing concrete designs and cost estimates. A Construction Manager at Risk is being contracted to provide input on probable costs. The schematic design phase is expected to wrap up by May 1, 2026, with proposals continuing into May. The project will then move into design development and phasing strategy based on detailed cost information and other factors.
