ANC South Terminal

ROLE:  Architect 
CLIENT:  State of Alaska – Dept. of Transportation & Public Facilities

RIM was the lead design firm for a major seismic retrofit at the main terminal of the Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport. Originally built 50 years ago, both Concourse B and the Ticket Lobby were updated to make the structures safer in the event of an earthquake. The project included modern infrastructure for baggage handling and screening, energy-efficient heating and ventilation, and state-of-the-art telecommunications and security systems.

A multitude of architecture and interior design updates in Concourses A and B as well as the Ticket Lobby have brought the overall level of service to customers and tenants up to the same high-quality standard present in the recently completed Concourse C. The renovated spaces are washed with natural light and allow for the completion of concession spaces, encouraging all the major air carriers to be conveniently co-located under one roof.

 

As the aviation planning and design consultant, HNTB worked with RIM, and Parsons Brinckerhoff (PB), the program manager, to plan the renovations, focusing on programming, right-sizing, and making sure all elements of the reinvented structure worked together. PCL Construction Services, Inc. acted as the Construction Manager-at-Risk; provided demolition and abatement service; installed structural upgrades and glazing; implemented seismic upgrades developed by Reid Middleton; and completed architectural finishes, roofing, and mechanical and electrical system upgrades. The work was accomplished while the airport remained fully occupied and functional.

ROLE: Architect of Record, Interior Design 
CLIENT: Guam Power Authority
SUSTAINABILITY: LEED Silver 

Guam Power Authority (GPA) experienced major operational inefficiencies as a result of scattered offices throughout Guam for the company’s GPA and Guam Waterworks Authority (GWA) employees. Prior to planning and designing a new campus facility, RIM conducted more than 60 interviews with GPA/GWA management and staff, visiting their existing facilities to determine what the employees needed. The result was a new 116,000 SF, 3-story facility for management, accounting, human resources, procurement, engineering, customer service, and IT employees. Desired components included offices, conference space, training centers, a client customer service center, and a central control system to monitor power island-wide. With its energy-efficient features, this building has become the standard for sustainability in Guam and is certified as LEED Silver.

ROLE: Architect, Interior Designer
CLIENT: Table 35
SIZE: 1,800 SF

RIM Architects was commissioned to create a concept design for the renovation of an existing coffee house, located in Tamuning, Guam. The building was transformed into a trendy, full service 70-seat wine bar and restaurant. This owner-built project required coordination of electrical and mechanical upgrades, and construction documents for permitting purposes. Challenges for this fast track project included utilization of limited locally available finish materials, layout and design of full exhibition kitchen, and integration of a custom wine display system. These items were included in the small 1,800 SF space on an extremely tight budget.
