The Vancouver Domestic Terminal creates a clear span over the departures check-in using a modified moment frame structure.

Kasian Kennedy has recently completed the second phase of a $125M renovation of the Domestic Terminal at Vancouver International Airport. The project consisted of a series of complex additions and interior design renovations intended to bring the language and efficiency of the new International Terminal to the Domestic Terminal that was initially constructed in the early 1960s. The work was completed without interruption to the ongoing operation of the airport.

 

The Domestic Terminal project required expertise coordinating new development with an existing and complex infrastructure including communication, security, and mechanical/electrical systems, as well as with extensive seismic upgrades that required unique building code interpretations, particularly with respect to public assembly uses.
