If you haven’t been to the Salt Lake International Airport since the $458 million Phase III wrapped up last October, it’s worth checking out—even if you’re not flying out (page 36). Make a date out of it; get some steamed clams and a bowl of hot chowder at Market Street and boogie through the cool new River Tunnel (Central Tunnel), with its funky, wavy ceiling art installation bathed in soft, soothing blue tones accompanied by a swinging playlist of tunes. Beyond the 1,000-foot tunnel, Phase III includes Plaza 2.0 in Concourse B, featuring a continuation of the Canyons theme from Phase I, another unique glass installation called Northern Lights and the salvation/reinstallation of the original World Map floor section, which was originally thought to be headed to for demolition before contractors and airport execs took a core sample and realized the floor could be saved in its entirety. Phase III is the most notable delivery by the Holder/Big-D JV general contractor team since Phase I in 2020, and the generational $5.1 billion project motors on, with Phase IV—the final phase—aiming for final completion in October 2026, less than 18 months away. I’ve got to say, the various art installations at the New SLC Airport are incredible, and they really make major spaces more lively and enjoyable to be in. Kudos to Napa, Calif.-based Gordon Huether Studios for its collective work spanning all the airport phases.
