Case Study: Missoula Montana Airport elevates traveler experience with A&E Design

Missoula Montana Airport enhances passenger experience with A&E Design in a LEED-standard terminal with geothermal heating and cooling

The Missoula Montana Airport engaged A&E Design to enhance the passenger experience through a new terminal that would embody a "Montana Modern" aesthetic, optimize energy efficiency, and accommodate future growth without disrupting ongoing airport operations.

A&E Design created a sustainable, LEED-standard terminal featuring a geothermal system, automatically tinting glass, and durable materials. The solution includes intuitive wayfinding, an outdoor patio, and an observation lounge with panoramic views, all designed to elevate the traveler experience. Through strategic phasing, the vendor ensured the existing terminal remained fully operational throughout the construction process.
