Gerald R. Ford International Airport (GFIA) needed to expand Concourses A and B to meet the need of expanding airlines and gates, as well as food service, retail and concessions. Additions and renovations were needed to transform the smaller facility into a more modern, spacious and “West Michigan” place for air passengers.

TowerPinkster teamed with Alliiance to redesign Concourses A and B to meet the needs of GFIA. Concourse A features new retail space and additional gate hold seating areas. Concourse B received a 2-story addition with the lower-level containing space for a future, international gate. The second level also features two additional gates, new restaurants and retail space.

The finished result creates a “sense of place” for the Gerald R. Ford International Airport through attention to design detail as well as the use of local businesses as part of the food, beverage and retail components.
