Officials at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport (AUS) recently celebrated the start of construction on the airport’s Atrium Infill Project. The $50-million initiative is part of the airport’s Journey With AUS Expansion Program and is scheduled to complete in 2026. The project, built in partnership with contractors Whiting-Turner and design firm Corgan, will add approximately 12,000 square feet to the Barbara Jordan Terminal’s arrivals and departures hall; increase TSA security screening capacity; upgrade the facility’s mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems; enhance baggage claim facilities; improve airport sustainability by meeting the Austin Energy Green Building (AEGB) 3-star sustainability standards; as well as add a new public art installation led by local artist and mural painter Josef Kristofoletti and artist Matthew Mazzotta.
