Lambert is installing a series of Art Glass Screens that will offer bursts of color and creativity to give newly renovated concourses (A & C) exciting focal points for travelers and visitors.
Nine local artists were chosen for the project through a competitive call to artists. Twenty-seven glass panels will be installed in nine locations. Each location will feature the work of one artist who will create a design across three side-by-side glass panels, each about 5 ½ ft high by 3ft wide, with an overall glass canvas of nearly 50 square ft.
The artists were chosen by the Airport’s new Art Advisory committee, with a focus on their past artistic works and the best artistic styles that would translate into glass.
The Art Glass Screens will be installed in conjunction with other concourse renovations that includes new flooring, new ceilings, new lighting systems, new signs and restroom improvements). The first set of Art Glass Screens by William LaChance and Eva Lundager were unveiled in the spring of 2011. The final installation of glass panels will be unveiled in the newly renovated C Concourse in the spring of 2012.

The Airport Experience Program is a $70 million renovation campaign that began in 2008 to improve passenger services, airport operations and deliver a dramatic visual makeover of Terminal 1 and Concourses A & C. This is the largest interior renovation project in the Airport’s History. Terminal 1 was designed by architect Minoru Yamasaki and opened in 1956. The improvements will create a more inviting, brighter and open Airport that still pays tribute to its historic architecture and history. Lambert is now in Phase II of the program which began in early 2011. Concourse improvements include the renovation of all restrooms, new flooring, new ceilings and new lighting. Terminal 1renovations began in early April. The dramatic makeover in the terminal includes the relocation of the C Concourse checkpoint, new meet/greet areas, updated restrooms, new ticket counters, new Ticket Lobby flooring and higher and brighter ceilings in the lower level and baggage claim. New signage and the introduction of art are also part of the Airport Experience. Phase I projects already completed include the interior restoration of Terminal 1 domed ceilings, new baggage carousels in Terminal 1 and a complete overhaul of signage on roadways in and out of the Airport. The Airport Experience Campaign is scheduled to be completed in late fall 2012. |

 Developed in 1956 by visionary Architect Minoru Yamasaki, the architectural design of Terminal 1 (Lambert’s original terminal) was dedicated as a “Grand Central Station of Air” with its arching floor to ceiling windows and 36-ft. dome ceilings.Those dome ceilings are now restored with a new “Arctic White” acoustical coating to improve sound absorption. The new ceiling treatment has brightened the Ticketing Hall much like it was when it was first built. The project also included new improved skylights with LED lighting that can produce a number of colors that can be seen inside and outside the terminal. |

Lambert completed the installation of a new baggage system (arrivals) in Terminal 1 in 2009. All six carousels and two large claim systems were replaced along with the luggage conveyer system in Terminal 1. These carousels will run faster, smoother, and quieter, resulting in less jams and luggage hang-ups than the previous baggage system. Besides being more reliable and efficient, the new low-profile carousels have opened the views for arriving passengers and visitors in the baggage claim area.Wayfinding and Signage

Lambert-St. Louis International Airport invested $1.2 million on a new wayfinding master plan to make it easier for the traveling public to find their way to and from the airport. The Wayfinding Project involved installing all new roadway signs for airport traffic from Interstate 70 and other entry points to Lambert’s terminals, parking lots, and other airport-related facilities. The new signs are more consistent in messaging, look and color. The project was completed in 2010.| Site Map | Legal | Contact Us | Employment | 2011 Lambert-St. Louis International Airport |  |
