The terminal expansion at Redmond Municipal Airport (RDM) reached a major construction milestone on July 7 as project partners gathered to celebrate the signing and placement of the final structural beam. The glue-laminated (glulam) beam was provided by TimberLab and manufactured in Portland, Oregon — and its placement marks a significant step forward for the $180M mass timber project.
Before the beam was lifted into place, project team members signed it and attached a ceremonial tree, honoring the collective effort and dedication of everyone who contributed to reaching this milestone.
To meet growing demand, a major expansion is underway at Central Oregon’s primary airport — its first expansion since 2008. Hennebery Eddy, in partnership with RS&H and Morrison-Maierle, designed the expansion of RDM to increase holdroom capacity, streamline operations, and improve amenities and accessibility for passengers. The design respects the existing airside building and expands the terminal to encompass the richness of the region’s landscape. The new concourse creates a clearer, more efficient, and welcoming experience and strengthens its role as a regional connector.
Under construction by Skanska as the CM/GC, the new terminal is expected to open in November 2027. Thanks to the Skanska team for hosting this milestone topping-out event, as well as to all our project partners, RDM airport staff, and stakeholders.
