The Orlando International Airport ("OIA"), operated by the Greater Orlando Aviation Authority, seeks innovative, visionary architects and engineers for its planned, new airport terminal compound. OIA is a world-class airport that welcomes over 36 million business and leisure passengers per year. In order to better accommodate its increasing number of passengers, especially in the international sector, OIA has under construction an Intermodal Terminal Facility for multiple modes of ground transportation, an Automated People Mover System connecting the main terminal, a 2,500 unit parking deck, and all associated horizontal infrastructure to support this program and the future expansion for a new terminal building.
OIA promotes "The Orlando Experience"® focusing on unique Central Florida architecture, aesthetics, convenience of amenities, art-work and customer services, with a goal of exceeding its customer's expectations. OIA seeks qualified architects and engineers to help enhance The Orlando Experience® by designing and producing a world-class domestic and international airport terminal building and related infrastructure. The assignment will require in-depth coordination with the existing design and construction team that is currently working on the first phase of this expansion program. The Planning Concepts outlined in the Orlando International Airport Master Plan Update 2011-2031 dated September 2014 are the basis of the South Terminal C Phase I project.
