People. Movement. Places. Taking airport design to new heights

As designers, our deep understanding of airside to landside to terminals drives us to create airports that are more beautiful, efficient, memorable, and safer than ever before. In each of our projects, we integrate rigor in design and delivery to empower our aviation partners.

Our team’s combined creativity, innovation, and expertise sets us apart on the global stage and allows us to do the best work for our clients and have a lasting impact on the world. But enriching the communities that we work in requires diversity of thought and expression. At Stantec, our inclusion, diversity, and equity focus supports our commitment to bringing communities together and celebrating differences. Truly transformative design is born from diversity.

Ranked #9 by BD+C in Airport Terminal Architecture & Engineering Firms in their 2022 report, we have designed projects at more than 200 airports worldwide with our repeat client relationships lasting more than 20 years. Our goal? Working with you to uncover and celebrate what is unique about your region and using art and architecture to differentiate airports and make them more enjoyable and easier to get around.

00:01 we try and bring a sense of place to all

00:04

the airports we do and it's particularly

00:07

important here

00:12

iqaluit is the capital of Nunavut and

00:15

everyone passes through the airport it's

00:18

on an island so the airport there is

00:20

really truly the crossroads for that

00:22

community for people coming from the

00:24

outer communities like Cambridge Bay or

00:26

coming north from Ottawa or east from

00:29

Yellowknife everyone passes through that

00:31

Airport so it is the great meeting place

00:34

there's a lot of meters and greeters in

00:38

the airport so if you go to the airport

00:39

today up there you'll find that for

00:41

every traveler there'll be three or four

00:43

people or their meeting them saying

00:45

goodbye so we've prided tried to create

00:48

a place where those meters and greeters

00:50

can become true where they can spend an

00:52

hour saying goodbye or waiting for their

00:55

guests to arrive art plays a big

00:57

function in the life of the into it they

01:01

were great craftsmen both making their

01:03

tools and their houses and they carried

01:05

that over into making art objects and so

01:07

we're bringing that art into the Rotunda

01:10

into these public spaces in a major way

01:12

reflecting the culture to both the

01:14

community there and to visitors who are

01:17

coming to see the Arctic for the first

01:19

time I hope that it is a great community

01:23

center that the community will think it

01:25

reflects the value of the government the

01:27

value of the people the values of the

01:29

community and will be used on a regular

01:31

basis for functions beyond just

01:34

transportation that'll be used for a

01:36

community meeting space and it'll feel

01:38

like home to them that it reflects their

01:40

character their culture
