The Spokane International Airport Terminal Renovation and Expansion (TREX) Program is moving full steam ahead!

Ben Johnson and Joe Simma joined airport leadership and special guests for a sneak peek dinner in the soon-to-open concourse expansion, complete with a four-course “taste of the Inland Northwest” and fun photo booth.

Designed by Alliiance, the $145M Phase 1 includes a six-gate expansion. Three gates opened in 2024 and the remaining three are set to open this June. Up next is the Central Hall which will bring a consolidated security checkpoint, centralized baggage claim, and improved passenger flow to elevate the passenger experience.

The project is also pursuing LEED certification.

The Reif is the home for the arts community in northern Minnesota, deeply rooted in the people it serves and the front porch of the community.
As the center celebrates 10 years since the addition and renovation, Technical Director John Miller reflects on the behind-the-scenes journey that shaped its evolution.
Working alongside the Reif Center, Alliiance reimagined the facility to better support performance, learning, and gathering. The design addresses the needs of modern productions and audiences, enhances new arts programming, and improves the center's overall functionality and accessibility.

In progress: A welcoming and inspiring new heart on campus 📚

Alliiance, in partnership with Workshop Architects, Inc., is planning and designing a new campus center for the University of Minnesota Twin Cities St. Paul campus.

Planning concepts driving the design include enhancing accessibility and the overall student experience, streamlining services to support the whole student, and providing a wide variety of study spaces that encourage connection and collaboration. The new facility will support the long-term transformation of the St. Paul campus.
