Presented by Patrick Dame, the executive director of the Rapid City Regional Airport
After seven years of planning and design, the Rapid City Regional Airport is in the process of constructing up to three additions to the airline terminal. Patrick Dame, the executive director of the airport, will discuss how engineers and architects involved in the process determined the size of the new terminal, considering peak hour demand, space required per passenger, aircraft seating size, and overall airport size; integrating the additions to complement the airport's unique architecture, which is modeled after the Black Hills; and overcoming construction challenges.
