SERVICES Architecture Planning Programming
Phoenix International Airport selected HOK to design three stations along its automated people mover (APM) line that connects Terminal 4 to a consolidated car rental facility and the Valley Metro light rail station at 44th Street. The airport wanted the stations to complement their surroundings and serve as beacons for environmentally friendly design.
HOK worked closely with local public art consultants to enhance the passenger experience, incorporate design elements reflective of modern Phoenix and to educate passengers on sustainability. The LEED Gold certified stations require less energy than typical APM stations for lighting and electrical and less water to support surrounding landscaping.
