LEO A DALY and Atkins Celebrate Grand Opening of $1 Billion Terminal at New Orleans International Airport

The new North Terminal at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport (MSY) opened today following seven years of design and planning work by global architecture firms LEO A DALY and Atkins, a member of the SNC-Lavalin Group. The 35-gate, $1 billion terminal will accommodate explosive growth for MSY, which is now the fifth fastest growing airport in the United States.
“We are extremely proud to have supported the City of New Orleans in bringing the new North Terminal to reality,” said Justin Jones, Intermodal business unit director, Atkins. “This beautiful, state-of-the-art facility will not only provide a modern, spacious place to arrive and depart but also bring a taste of what makes New Orleans unique, including its music, food, and culture.”
“The new MSY establishes an iconic new gateway to the city of New Orleans and a passenger experience unlike anything else in the world. We’re truly thrilled to see it contribute to New Orleans’ growth as a domestic and international destination,” said Steven Lichtenberger, AIA, president of LEO A DALY.
Design for the terminal was developed and completed by the Crescent City Aviation Team (CCAT), a joint venture of Atkins and LEO A DALY. CCAT led the design of the airport terminal, its three concourses, concession program, two parking garages, misc. aviation radar and electrical facilities, pump station, airside aprons and landside roadway systems. The terminal design was based on an initial concept by Pelli Clarke Pelli Architects.
