JE Dunn Construction has completed a $102-million, technology-integrated parking and ground transportation center and related improvements at Nashville International Airport in Tennessee.
The new center is a component of the Metropolitan Nashville Airport Authority’s BNA Vision, a $1.2-billion expansion and renovation plan to accommodate regional population growth and the airport’s record-breaking passenger increases.
The new parking and transportation center project was completed under budget, and features a six-level, 2,200-space garage equipped with parking guidance which includes sensors to direct drivers to open parking spaces. The facility also features car-locator kiosks. Other amenities include electric-vehicle charging stations and a fee-free tire-inflation location.
A covered walkway connects the parking garage and terminal, and flight-information displays at five passenger elevators on the first level guide travelers on the move.
The parking and transportation center significantly improves the airport’s ground transportation capacity and efficiency. Level 1 of the garage is a dedicated hub for taxis, limos, buses, shuttles and ride-sharing services, and provides three passenger waiting areas.
JE Dunn’s scope of work for the project also included relocating the main circulation road, Terminal Drive, around the airport, a new three-level ramp for the consolidated rental car garage and two new revenue control plazas.
The project’s sustainability features include a rainwater-harvesting system supporting landscape irrigation, and a green-screen irrigated wall.
The center was designed by Atkins Global, the engineering and design firm.
