Now Arriving at the North Terminal: Delivery on Budget and in Style
Project delayed three years, revamped, expanded on same budget
Few new airport terminals have come online in the U.S. post-9/11.

When the project was reinstated, a lot more than airport security had changed, but the budget remained the same.

Aspen Art Museum Selects Architects to Design New Facility
Shigeru Ban Architects and Dean Maltz Architects partner on the design
The new $28 million Aspen Art Museum in Aspen, Colo., announced this summer the selection of Tokyo-based Shigeru Ban Architects as principal architect and designer for a new 30,000-square-foot downtown museum on a five-acre site. The five-year expansion will re-situate curatorial and exhibition space from the existing 7,000-square-foot structure—a converted hydroelectric plant—to a new 13,000-square-foot facility. The project will mark the first museum design in the U.S. by architect Shigeru Ban, Hon. FAIA. Ban will work with New York City-based Dean Maltz Architects on the project.
