Bert Mooney Airport

Design Photos: BTM 2018 Airport Terminal
Butte, Montana is the largest National Historic landmark district in the United States. Its rich history originates from early days as a mining camp when Butte was the largest city west of the Mississippi River between Chicago and San Francisco. The opening of the Berkeley Pit in 1955 marked a transition of labor from historic underground mining to open pit mining. Many of the forms implemented in the design come from this historic background. With that in mind, the design approach became a modern interpretation of a Montana mining theme. At 32,000 square feet, the entry, baggage claim and holdroom are focal points in the design. The exterior canopies welcome visitors and passengers with their historic forms. The holdroom features custom designs that reminisce on mining practices. The program additionally includes car rental, concession, and airport administration areas. A passenger’s journey from the front doors of the terminal to the aircraft is sure to be enticed with historic value and ease of circulation.

SFO Terminal 3 Checkpoint

The scope of this project consists of a major renovation of the Security Screening Checkpoint of the established Terminal 3 East (T3E). This expansion and renovation project allows space for a new passenger security checkpoint. Significant effort was required to prepare phasing documents to allow continuous airport and terminal operations. This project was focused on improving the quality and service of security for air travelers passing through the airport. TSA security screening can be a stressful process for some people, and any way that this process can be improved will benefit travelers and employees. By rigidly defining secure and unsecure areas, including retail and concessions, equipment rooms, toilets and offices, a more organized and safe security screening can take place, saving travelers time and effort.

The Rotunda Building

The seven-story historic Rotunda Building features a magnificent 120-foot high atrium topped by an oval glass dome. The structure consists of two separate buildings with the glass Rotunda itself located in the seven-story steel framed structure constructed in 1920. The second building is a concrete structure. The façade of both buildings is brick. During the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake there was substantial damage above the 3rd level in the exterior thin shear walls of the building. The brick façade was also damaged. Much of the damage to the brick was caused by the two buildings pounding against each other.
The KPA Group designed a structural retrofit system which preserved the historic fabric of the building, minimized inter-story deformation and kept the deflections at the top of the roof to a minimum. To achieve this a system of approximately 40 feet long, 16-inch thick shear walls were added to the interior of the building, unusually the shear walls were provided for the full height of the building. To anchor these walls to the ground, a system of anchors were installed approximately 80 feet deep. The two buildings were tied together to prevent pounding. Preserving a building like this was a great opportunity to help Oakland retain some of its pre-quake history.
