Sudbury Airport Terminal Expansion

Sudbury Airport is one of Northern Ontario’s busiest airports. As a result, a major expansion and renovation of the air terminal building was proposed, with the intent to encourage economic development in Northern Ontario.

Maple Reinders transformed the terminal into a modern, two-storey facility. To enhance the visual connection between the outdoors and the interior of the airport, the restaurant was relocated to the second floor with a view of the airstrip.

The unique elliptical hold room/screening area on the main floor has a capacity of 120 seats, and utilizes materials (such as metal, wood and terrazzo) that symbolize the history of Sudbury’s mining and timber industries.

A new baggage and conveyance system facilitates travel for passengers. The Sudbury Airport is also the first mid-size Canadian airport to install an Explosive Detection System.
