Gensler’s design for this airport in North San Diego County drew inspiration from the site’s surrounding coastal zone and celebrates the airport’s connection to the sea. As a consultant to Wadell Engineering, Gensler developed schematic design and planning alternatives to replace and upgrade the airport, which primarily serves general aviation but also several commercial airlines. Key features of the design include a streamlined flow to expedite passenger arrivals and departures; upgraded services and amenities; accommodation for regional jet aircraft; and the implementation of sustainable design strategies to reduce lifecycle costs.
