SUBJECT:
Briefing on Development Principles for the San Antonio Airport System
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The San Antonio Airport System initiated an effort to incorporate a “sense of place” to define or further refine San Antonio International Airport’s image by creating Development Principles, including design guidelines and standards, that will embody characteristics unique to San Antonio into future development projects. The intent of this effort is to ensure passengers and visitors recognize they are in San Antonio when they visit airport facilities. This effort will result in a design manual complete with standards, details, and practices used to guide and shape future development projects.
In 2019, the San Antonio International Airport tasked Jacobs Engineering, Inc., one of the on-call general engineering consultants, to lead this effort. The first scoping session was held in October 2019. Since then, the consultants developed and further refined the design principles after meetings with internal and external stakeholder groups.
ISSUE:
A consultant from Jacobs Engineering, Inc., the on-call consultant leading the development of design standards for the San Antonio Airport System, will brief the City Council on the status of the effort including the process to develop the design principles. Following the B Session, the design consultants will incorporate comments and finalize a draft design manual to be used in future facility projects at the San Antonio International Airport. This document is anticipated to be complete in June 2021.
