Executive Summary
From September 2010 through February 2011, SEH and Architectural
Alliance International were engaged by the Cheyenne Regional Airport to
develop a schematic design option for a potential new terminal.
The basis of this design was the 10 March 2008 Cheyenne Regional
Airport Terminal Feasibility Study, which studied projected future demand
to determine the appropriate size and scope of a future terminal. The
Feasibility Study projected annual enplanements to reach 28,900 by
the year 2027. In addition, the Feasibility Study examined a number of
potential locations for the future terminal, including redevelopment of the
existing terminal site as well new potential sites. The Feasibility Study
recommended Site 3A, located due East of the existing terminal site,
accessed from the redeveloped Airport Parkway. A Conceptual Design was
proposed as part of the Feasibility Study.
The Schematic Design effort took the recommendation of Site 3A and
the programming and Conceptual Design work of the Feasibility Study as
a launching point. The Schematic Design addresses operational needs
for the airlines and passenger service improvements such as adequate
gate hold seating, pre-security waiting areas, security checkpoint layouts
capable of handling current and potential future needs, mechanical and
electrical system upgrades, more easily maintainable and aesthetically
pleasing finishes, and a strong design presence for the terminal as a
representation of the city of Cheyenne and its surrounding region.
Desired capacity was based upon service of two simultaneous Regional
Jet departures in regularly scheduled domestic passenger traffic (60 seats
per aircraft for a total of 120 seat gate hold capacity). This capacity was
further supported by the potential to service narrow body jets in charter
operations and the potential to handle diverted flights from Denver.

Western Icon
Cheyennes deep western frontier heritage is an important part of the
citys past and present. There is strong iconic and identifiable imagery
associated with the cowboy and the cowboy culture. The craftsmanship
and design associated with saddles, cowboy boots, and western gear is
very artistic and beautiful. The tooled and embossed leathers, the silver
accents and the filigree patterns can all inspire materials , colors and
patterns for the interior design.

Context
Context
Both the local context of the immediate site and the larger context of the
City of Cheyenne and the Upper Great Plains were carefully studied. From
the natural context, weve identified the regional weather, the prevailing NW winds, and the strong solar orientation as important elements .
Moreover, man-made structures like the snow fences and the railroads as
well as the vernacular buildings became a source of inspiration for parts of
the design.
Porch
Porch
The concept of a porch can be found at both regional vernacular buildings
and more contemporary designs, and functionally relates to the transitional space between the inside and the outside of the building. Experientially, a porch functions as the front door for arriving and departing
passengers.
Screen
Screens are architectural elements used to modulate and filter sun light,
control winds, and filter or screen views. Inspired by the local snow fences
and railroad cattle cars, these screens also have the potential of introducing dynamic and controlled patterns of shadow and light into the building.
Screen
Sustainability
With the belief that every buiding design is a careful response to its natural
and cultural sites, the schematic design represents an energy efficient
building that implements the sustainable strategies of daylighting, water
efficiency, use of local and renewable materials, and highly efficient mechanical systems among others.

Program Refinement
During the course of the workshops with Airport Staff and the Airport
Board, a number of changes were made to programming assumptions
developed during the 2008 Feasibility Study. These changes were driven
by changes in current conditions and reassessments of previous decisions.
Among the critical changes that impacted the Schematic Design:
Restaurant Size, Location, and Scope
The Feasibility Study assumed a large, signature restaurant and bar located on the second floor of the terminal that would be directed primarily
at Cheyenne residents rather than passengers. Based on the financial
difficulties of the existing restaurant at the current terminal, the recent
expansion of restaurant offerings within Cheyenne, and the significant investment involved in a large restaurant, the Board ultimately decided that
a smaller restaurant with more limited offerings, located to serve primarily
passengers would be more appropriate.
Multi-story Building
The Level Two program in the Conceptual Design was dominated by the
restaurant component, and when this was relocated, there was a question
as to whether or not the building should remain a multi-story building. The
Board determined that the multi-story building was still justified because
the cost difference was determined to be insignificant, the second story
gave the building additional presence on the site, it programmatically
made sense to separate the administrative functions, and because of the
efficiencies allowed by the partial basement.
Gate Hold and Security
The Gate Hold area was increased from a capacity of 60 in the Feasibility
Study to 120 in Schematic Design to allow it to accommodate two simultaneous regional jet departures (the ability to accommodate narrow-body
jets and to handle diverted planes from Denver was also a factor in this
decision). The Security Checkpoint was enlarged to allow it to accommodate the latest TSA requirements.

Workshop 1
Workshop 1 was held on 27 September 2010 at the offices of the Cheyenne
Regional Airport. Present were representatives of Architectural Alliance
International, SEH, Airport Director David Haring, and Airport Staff.
The Feasibility Study was validated, especially relative to changes in
airport operations driven by the addition of American Eagle service and the
closure of the existing restaurant.
The design process was explained, and examples of previous projects
were shown.
Results of initial Sense of Place and Architectural Design Research were
presented.

Workshop 2
The Sense of Place and Architectural Design Research was presented to the
Airport Board.
Four plans were presented that demonstrated options for the restaurant
within the new terminal.
Schemes 1A and 1B are both one level schemes. Scheme 1A locates the
restaurant adjacent to the Gate Hold for easy passenger access. Scheme
1B locates the restaurant to the west, for adjacencies to the Loading Dock
and Short Term Parking and ease of after-hours access.

Concept Sketches
Workshop 2
Schemes 2A and 2B are both two level schemes. Unlike the Conceptual
Design, which show the two level massing located to the East, these
schemes shift the two level massing to the West, still retaining a generous
double-height space at the Arrivals and Departures Hall and the Gate
Hold space. Both show a large, signature Restaurant space located at the
Northwest of the terminal to maximize views to the airfield. Scheme 2A
shows the Security Checkpoint oriented East-West, whereas Scheme 2B
shows it oriented North-South.
Sketches were presented demonstrating both a two level option and a one
level option with a high-roofed volume over the public spaces.
The Airport Board selected Scheme 2A as their preferred option,
demonstrating strong support for a two level option. There was, however,
some concern about whether the terminal could support a large, signature
restaurant. They requested another alternative be prepared demonstrating
a smaller scale restaurant located on Level One, but still retaining
administrative functions on Level Two.

Workshop 3
Workshop 3 was held on 08 December 2010 at the offices of the Cheyenne
Regional Airport as a part of the regularly scheduled Airport Board meeting. Present were representatives of Architectural Alliance International,
SEH, Airport Director David Haring, and the Airport Board.
As requested by the Board at the previous workshop, two schemes were
presented. Scheme 2A is a refinement of the preferred plan presented
at the previous meeting with a large, signature restaurant located in the
northwest corner of Level Two.
Scheme 2C is an alternative showing a smaller restaurant located immediately to the west of the Gate Hold space, but still retaining an upper level
for the administrative functions and public viewing space. Scheme 2C has
the advantage of offering better service for passengers, while still maintaining strong views to the airfield.
Scheme 2C was ultimately selected by the Airport Board.

Located immediately adjacent to the Gate Hold, a Restaurant concession space is open to the public but primarily oriented towards meeting
the needs of flight passengers. The Restaurant and associated Kitchen
totals 1250 sf. In addition to the Restaurant space, the Schematic Design
accommodates three additional concession spaces at the east end of
the terminal, totaling 1500 sf of leasable space and 600 sf of associated
circulation space (this space is designed to be easily convertible to future
Airline Ticket Offices should future passenger demand require it). There
are also four Rental Car Offices provided, totaling 640 sf.

The Schematic Design proposal orients the curbside faade to approximately due south, aligning it with the runway beyond. This orientation
allows for favorable solar access, bringing in south light which can be
modulated by sunscreening elements and deep overhangs, allowing for
more sun in the winter months when it is needed, and less in the summer
months when it isnt.
The south faade is grounded by light colored precast concrete panels at
the east end. These are envisioned to relate to the tones of the light sandstone that is found regionally, and will have texture and tones to enliven
them. At the ground level, there will be extensive glazing that is shielded
by the deep roadside canopy. The glazing will be penetrated by the two
vestibules and the rental car offices, which are envisioned to be clad in

Building Elevations
The upper story of the terminal is clad in a mix of copper metal panels and
in select locations, large expanses of glazing that bring daylighting deep
into the space. These windows will be carefully located to take advantage
of views, and will be treated with sunscreening elements as their exposure
requires. Windows on the buildings north faade are able to bring in
daylight without concern about heat gain or glare.
The precast panels and metal panels wrap the more utilitarian portions of
the terminals airside, but the Gate Hold, Restaurant, and Upper Gallery all
have expansive views out to the airside and are treated with glazing and
articulated copper panels.

Building Sections
In response to the Boards concerns about a flat-roofed terminal design
and that the building looked too boxy or heavy during Workshop 3, the
exterior design was reevaluated. A Butterfly roof was determined to be a
good fit for the terminal, providing a light feeling roof with deep overhangs
to provide sun protection. This roof form allows water to be controlled effectively, keeping it from running onto either the curbside or the airside. It
also allows for rain water to be collected and retained for site irrigation.

Building Renderings
A continuous clerestory window immediately below the deep overhang
makes the roof appear to float over the building. The continuous glazing at the curbside makes for an easy transition between the interior and
the exterior spaces, with the fireplace visible and inviting. A smaller light
monitor over the ticketing hall brings sunlight into these spaces.
