• Existing Terminal
• Feasibility Study
• 20% Schematic Design

• Funding Scenarios
• Final Thoughts
Airport Information
• Founded September 8, 1920
• Two terminals
– 200 E. 8th Avenue (1930-1961)
– 300 E. 8th Avenue (1961-Present)
• Two Air Carriers serve Cheyenne
– Great Lakes Airlines (6 flights/
day to Denver)
– American Eagle (1 flight/day to Dallas)
• In 2010, over 42,000 people flew into or out of
the Cheyenne Regional Airport
• As of September 2011, total passenger use was
up over 46% from 2010.
Existing Terminal
• Built in 1961 (50 years old)
– Drastically different operating environment
• Beyond serviceable life-span
– Surpassed useful life years ago, but demand shifted
• Numerous deficiencies:
– Parabolic Design –
not suitable for remodel
– Structural failures
– Outdated MEP systems
– Inadequate parking
– Inadequate hold rooms
– Inadequate security
– Inefficient split-level layout
Feasibility Study
Summary of Process – Initial Study
•
Aug. 2007 – Met with Board to discuss study goals
»
»
»
»
Existing terminal evaluation
Review capacity and forecast demand
Solicit input from stakeholders, users and agencies
Assess terminal alternatives at current airport
(not evaluate new airport)
» Develop conceptual terminal diagram/solution
•
Sep. - Oct. 2007 – Stakeholders, initial site analysis, forecast &
program
•
Nov. 2007 – Site cost assessment
•
Dec. - Jan. 2008 – Non-site specific conceptual terminal diagram
•
Mar. 2008 – Study summary complete
Feasibility Study (Continued)
Public Involvement Process
•
Jan. 2009 – Tenant and agency update and feedback
•
Feb. 2009 – Public update and feedback
•
Mar. 2009 – Revisions, public update
•
April - May 2009 – Additional revisions, public updates (if necessary)
– Final site selection
Conclusion of General Assessment
•
Wide range of physical deficiencies fail to meet operational needs
of the Airport
•
Existing site will not meet operational demands of an expanding
terminal
•
Future growth cannot be accommodated using site as configured
Feasibility Study (Continued)
Site Alternatives
Not viable due to excessive
grade change, infrastructure
req.s (new taxiway on fill,
etc.) also outside ALP,
runway envelope conflicts
Not viable due to
insufficient depth
and excessive
grade change.

20% Schematic Design
• $1,500,000.00 for design was approved on
previous 6 Penny Ballot
• September 2010 – February 2011
• Addressed operational needs of airlines
– 30,000 annual enplanements
• Passenger service improvements
– Gate hold seating, ticketing, security, concessions,
and restaurants
• Pre-security waiting areas
• Viewing platforms
20% Schematic Design
• Efficient security check points
• MEP upgrades incorporating many “green”
concepts
• Multi-story layout
• Additional concession space
• Ample, multi faceted parking
• New terminal apron – can accommodate longer
aircraft

Final Thoughts
• Construction of a new terminal facility is the most
flexible and cost effective means of insuring the
long term sustainability of passenger service at
the Cheyenne Regional Airport
• It is important not to think of the terminal facility
as simply a building. The terminal is the most
visible part of a gateway to Cheyenne that serves
as both the first and last impression to visitors
and residents alike
