General Aviation Terminal at RDU International Airport
Raleigh-Durham, NC
Planned as the focal point of a redeveloped general aviation complex at RDU International Airport, this 21,000 Sq. Ft. terminal is designed to support the growing needs of the general aviation community in the Raleigh-Durham region. It features a café, pilot’s lounge, conference rooms, information and business service center, and an observation area that offers a place for all to visit and to experience the wonder of flight.
The RDU General Aviation Terminal serves as a gateway to the region for general and corporate aviation. The main entry hall is a two-story high space featuring a unique long-span truss supporting a foil-shaped roof, reflecting the imagery of aircraft design. The cantilever roof structure protects travelers from the elements while providing another visual reference to the building’s function as a center for aviation.
