Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA) – Terminal & Air Traffic Control Tower
In association with Cesar Pelli, LEO A DALY served as prime consultant, engineer, and executive architect for this major airport. The project consists of two components: the South Terminal Renovation, and the North Terminal, the centerpiece of a decade-long $800 million terminal renovation. Along with the airport terminal, the project also included the design of the 196-foot tall airport traffic control tower (ATCT) with a 545 SF cab and a 27,300 SF terminal radar approach control (TRACON) facility.
While maintaining an aggressive schedule and completing the project without causing any disruptions to on-going airport operations, we also coordinated the activities of more than 20 consultants and concurrently managed the related vehicle and pedestrian circulation project. This project placed new elevated roadways, and connected attached perpendicular terminal pedestrian walkways from the new terminal, through the Metro station, and on to the parking garage to create a truly multi-modal facility.
