Nashville International Airport – Terminal Lobby Renovation and International Arrivals Facility (IAF) – Nashville, TN

In 2019, Nashville International Airport (BNA) was the fastest growing airport in the United States with over 18 million passengers annually and more than 600 flights daily. To keep up with this impressive growth rate, the airport developed a comprehensive renovation and expansion plan. This substantial plan, known as BNA Vision, is expected to be complete in 2023.

Under BNA Vision, the Terminal Lobby Renovation and International Arrivals Facility (IAF) is a 440,000 sq. ft. expansion and renovation effort. The upgraded central terminal will include a new marketplace, a 24-lane security checkpoint (doubling current capacity), ample natural light, and expansive views of the airfield. The IAF will include six new gates and a new U.S. Customs and Border Protection area.

The Progressive Design-Build construction contract was awarded to Hensel Phelps, with the architectural design delivered by Fentress Architects.

Inspired Networks was contracted by Hensel Phelps for design review and design-assist for the in-scope systems.
