ST. LOUIS, MO (November 4, 2025): HDR has been selected by the City of St. Louis Board of Public Service to provide professional design services for site work, roadway, bridge and civil infrastructure, a new parking garage, and a Ground Transportation Center (GTC) at St. Louis Lambert International Airport. This work is a key component of the airport’s Consolidated Terminal Program (CTP) and represents a significant investment in the future of regional connectivity and traveler experience.
The project includes reconstruction of the arrivals and departures curb, development of a new garage and GTC, and improvements to pedestrian and vehicular circulation. HDR’s design will support seamless transitions between facilities, reduce traffic conflicts and create a welcoming experience for travelers.
With a team based in St. Louis and supported by national architecture and aviation infrastructure experts, HDR will deliver design solutions that are functionally modern, resilient and focused on the needs of the community. The firm’s approach emphasizes collaboration with the airport, other CTP program design teams and multiple construction managers at risk to maintain operations and revenue while enhancing safety, access and aesthetics.
“HDR is honored to support this transformative effort at St. Louis Lambert International Airport,” said Kevin Kriete, HDR’s project manager. “Our team brings decades of experience in aviation and infrastructure design, and we are committed to delivering thoughtful, community-focused solutions that reflect the airport’s importance to the region.”
HDR’s team includes long-standing local partners and nationally recognized specialists in parking structures, transportation and aviation-related design. Together, they will work to create infrastructure that supports growth, celebrates St. Louis’ aviation legacy and improves the experience for every traveler.
