This expansion reflects the region’s identity and extends the airport’s Prairie Style aesthetic in a vibrant color palette while showcasing terrazzo’s versatility in meeting complex design objectives. A striking topographical map in terrazzo serves as a visual destination, identifying local landmarks and depicting local lakes in varying blue terrazzo blends to represent water depths. Mirror aggregate introduces a dynamic ripple effect. Wayfinding graphics, such as black marble paw prints and bold red racetrack patterns, enhance functionality and visual interest. The durable, low-maintenance terrazzo installation exceeded the country’s Green Building Policy guidelines, emphasizing sustainable design and long-term performance.
