Airport leaders, city legislators, and project stakeholders from architectural and design firm RS&H gathered to celebrate the beginning of work on Redmond Municipal Airport (RDM)’s $180-million, multi-phase expansion project. The expansion, which will add more than 80,000 square feet to the terminal; seven new jet bridges; expanded seating, waiting and concession areas; as well as enhanced accessibility features, is expected to be complete in 2028.
“With this expansion, we’re not just preparing for the future – we’re shaping it,” said Redmond Mayor Ed Fitch. “Redmond Airport is a critical gateway for Central Oregon, and this project ensures we continue to meet the needs of our communities with vision, care and forward-thinking infrastructure.”
“This has been a remarkable journey from concept to design for me, and it’s rewarding to see the vision take shape to serve Central Oregon’s growth.” said RS&H lead architect Ryan Johnson.
“This project goes beyond simply expanding a terminal – we’re creating a gateway that is as forward-thinking as the region it serves,” added Kevin Stockton, RS&H Western Region vice president and aviation/transportation architecture market leader. “Partnering with the City of Redmond allows us to bring innovative solutions to life while supporting the community’s sustained economic momentum.”
