The Naples Airport Authority Board of Commissioners has officially cleared the way for the next stage of modernization at the North Road Terminal. In a unanimous 4-0 vote, the board awarded key contracts to Curran Young Construction, Garland, and Schenkel Schultz to begin Phase II of the facility’s renovation.
Building on Recent Progress
This announcement follows the successful completion of Phase I, which focused on the building’s exterior. Those initial improvements included hardening the building envelope for increased storm resilience, updating canopies, and refreshing the surrounding landscaping and site work.
Enhancing the Passenger Experience
Phase II shifts the focus toward the interior and infrastructure. With a total project cost capped at $4,409,761, the upcoming renovations will include:
-
Public Spaces: Complete redesign of the lobby and waiting areas.
-
Amenities: Upgrades to the car rental spaces and the grab-and-go cafe.
-
Infrastructure: Installation of new air-conditioning systems and critical roof repairs.
-
Aesthetics: Modernized interior finishes and new furnishings throughout.
In addition to the construction costs, the board approved a $136,080 contract with Schenkel Schultz for design and construction administration to ensure the project meets its specifications.
A Historic Milestone
This project represents the first major overhaul of the North Road Terminal since its original construction in 1983. By the time Phase II reaches its estimated completion in December 2026, the terminal will be fully equipped to provide a more efficient and comfortable experience for modern travelers.
