Defining a New Gateway at DFW Airport

How CENTRIA helped transform an ambitious vision into a landmark transportation project through innovation, collaboration and integrated building envelope design.

Overview

Architecture in Motion

Few building types operate under greater scrutiny than airports. They are architectural landmarks, critical infrastructure and first impressions all at once.

For the High C Gates expansion at Dallas Fort Worth International Airport, project leaders sought to create a modern terminal experience while meeting the demands of one of the world's busiest transportation hubs.

Achieving that vision required a building envelope partner capable of combining technical expertise, engineering support and integrated systems from concept through completion.

The Challenge

Building for Scale, Performance and the Future of Travel

The terminal expansion introduced four replacement gates and advanced modular construction methods designed to improve efficiency and installation speed.

Wall assemblies were fabricated off-site and transported across the airfield before installation, requiring a system that balanced design excellence, constructability and long-term durability.

“With our solution, we were able to provide an all-in-one component that outperforms a traditional assembly and is designed to last for several decades.”
