PHOENIX SKY HARBOR INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT
TERMINAL 3 NORTH CONCOURSE PUBLIC ART PROJECTS
Project Description
The Arts and Culture Department, in collaboration with Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, seeks to commission signature works of art as part of the construction of a new Terminal 3 North Concourse that acts as a front door for travelers to the city and state. The project offers several opportunities to integrate major artworks into the building architecture and create stand-alone landmarks that can be experienced from multiple perspectives inside the terminal. The selected artists/artist teams will be required to work closely with the design team to incorporate the artwork into the terminal design and construction documents.
The Arts and Culture Department seeks applications from professional artists, and artist teams, working in a variety of media and artistic approaches who will be responsible for the design and implementation of the artwork.
General locations for artwork have been identified however final placement of artwork will be determined based on a collaborative design process. The content of the artwork must be suitable for public consumption and should avoid political statements.

Artwork Opportunities- Terrazzo Flooring: Terrazzo flooring will be used in multiple locations throughout the project including the Concourse, Terminal 3 Connector Bridge, and Terminal 4 Connector Tunnel. Artists commissioned for these opportunities will be responsible for the design of the flooring and oversight during construction; the flooring will be installed by the general contractor.
- Concourse: The new concourse will be approximately 140,000 square feet of floor area, over three levels. The passenger level (located above the apron level which provides support functions to airlines) contains gate lounges, concessions areas, restrooms, and other public-facing amenities. Artwork located in the passenger level of the concourse could include suspended artwork that incorporates acoustic solutions, digital or technology-based artwork, glazing, and interior wall treatments.
- Terminal 3 Connector Bridge: A pedestrian bridge will tether the new concourse with the existing Terminal 3 processor (or lobby). The bridge is approximately 30,000 square feet of floor area and blends into the massing of the new concourse. It allows for exterior views of the surrounding mountains to the north and visual connectivity to processor, reinforcing a sense of place. Artwork located in the bridge could include glazing, suspended artwork, interior wall treatments, sound, and digital and technology-based artwork.
- Terminal 4 Connector Tunnel: A pedestrian tunnel will provide a secure side connection between terminals, spanning over 1,000 lineal feet. The tunnel will enhance the passenger experience with a direct pathway between the new Terminal 3 North Concourse and Terminal 4 North Concourse. Artwork located in the tunnel may include lighting, glazing (at connection points), interior wall treatments, suspended artwork sound, and digital and technology-based artwork.
