Global design firm, Hok is overseeing a project to revamp the airport. Monterey Regional Airport is set to replace its outdated terminal with a new five-gate facility, aiming to enhance the traveler experience. The single-level layout promotes accessibility and easy wayfinding, with an apron level below supporting airport, airline, and maintenance staff. The terminal will include the airport’s first passenger boarding bridges, allowing travelers to access planes in any weather. The design features a pre-security garden plaza with lush, native landscaping, a glass wall offering views into the post-security central plaza, a center bar for dining, and a post-security outdoor terrace showcasing the region’s scenic beauty and mild climate. The project team is also upgrading long- and short-term passenger parking facilities and improving access roads leading to the airport. The terminal is targeting LEED Platinum certification and net-zero energy readiness, and the airport will remain operational during construction, set to begin in 2025.
