HDR has been selected to lead a new study of passenger mobility and develop possible solutions for Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport. The airport, consistently named one of the best airports in North America, is exploring options for replacing its tram system to improve the experience for passengers and employees.
The airport’s trams are reaching the end of their useful life, and the airport is taking the opportunity to consider how it might rethink the way users navigate their facility. The goal is to improve travel times, accessibility, and the overall experience of traveling through the airport, including between gates at different concourses and between Terminal 1 and Terminal 2. The results will be incorporated into the airport’s long-term capital plan for reimagining the entire facility.
HDR will lead a multiphase project that begins with a needs assessment, then progresses to evaluation of possible solutions, closer evaluation of the preferred solution including schematic design, and eventually provides analysis of the best project delivery method to complete the preferred solution. The local team of planners and engineers will be supplemented by national experts in passenger flow, people-moving technology, and terminal design.
