Local architects chosen for airport development
Local architectural firm Stephenson and Turner has been chosen to design Taupō’s new airport terminal building.
The new terminal is to be built as part of an airport redevelopment made possible with $5 million in funding from the Provincial Growth Fund and $870,000 from the New Zealand Upgrade Programme. The redevelopment will include a new car park and the expansion of the airside apron to allow larger aircraft to operate safely, as well as the new terminal facility.
Paul Raven of Stephenson and Turner said the firm had extensive experience in aviation architecture having worked on Auckland Airport’s international and domestic terminals and the team were excited to be working on something much closer to home.
“We are delighted to be selected for this project and are looking forward to working with Taupō District Council, the key stakeholders and local businesses to deliver Taupō’s new airport terminal facility,” he said.
