The designation is awarded by the International Board of Credentialing and Continuing Education Standards (IBCCES) and highlights GOAA’s dedication to accessibility as well as a responsibility to better understand and assist autistic or sensory-sensitive individuals as they travel.
“As our passenger traffic steadily increases, we have a responsibility to foster an environment where all visitors feel welcomed and comfortable in the airport’s bustling surrounding,” said Kevin J. Thibault, CEO of the Greater Orlando Aviation Authority, which manages Orlando International Airport. “We are committed to embracing a better understanding and knowledge of how to effectively communicate and provide assistance to our guests with autistic and sensory-sensitive needs, and this training for our staff will help us to better lean into that commitment.”

Orlando International Airport
South Terminal Complex
Receives Multiple Awards in 2024
ENGINEERING NEWS-RECORD BEST AIRPORT / TRANSIT - ORLANDO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT TERMINAL C, 2024
AMERICAN COUNCIL OF ENGINEERING COMPANIES OF FLORIDA, GRAND CONCEPTOR AWARD - ORLANDO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT SOUTH TERMINAL COMPLEX, 2024
ASSOCIATED BUILDERS AND CONTRACTORS (ABC) CENTRAL FLORIDA EXCELLENCE IN CONSTRUCTION EAGLE AWARDS - PROJECT OF THE YEAR NOMINEE, FREE ENTERPRISE WINNER
Project: ORLANDO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT SOUTH TERMINAL COMPLEX, Orlando, Florida | 2024
Client: Greater Orlando Aviation Authority
Design Architect: Fentress Architects
Architect of Record: HNTB Corporation
Associate Architects: Baker Barrios, MLM-Martin Architects, Inc., Rhodes + Brito Architects, Inc.
General Contractors (CMAR): Hensel Phelps; Turner Construction Co.
Structural Engineer: C&S Engineers
Airfield Civil Engineer: Kimley-Horn
Landside Civil Engineer: Atkins
Electrical Engineer: Matern Professional Engineering
The $2.8-billion centerpiece of the Greater Orlando Aviation Authority’s 300-acre South Terminal Complex program opened on time and under budget in fall 2022, despite the pandemic that depleted passenger revenue and disrupted supply chains. To meet the four-year timeline, the project team employed four alternative delivery methods: landside and airside construction management at-risk; a design-build-operate-maintain baggage team; design-bid-build award contracts and multiple design-build concession/tenant packages. A decision-tracking tool enabled the team to document and track decisions efficiently.
Flyers entering Orlando International Airport’s Terminal C might first notice the iconic prow at the entrance and the vivid experiential media exhibits. But the new structure isn’t just about form—it’s very much about function. The 1.3-million-sq-ft terminal incorporates firsts for U.S. airports: technologies such as 100% total virtual ramp control; 100% advanced automated screening lanes; 100% facial recognition “e-gates;” a “Bags First” design and a 100% trackable baggage system.
The terminal is certified as one of the first LEED v4 airport campuses in the U.S., with a design that provides 25.6% energy cost-savings over the latest ASHRAE 90.1-2010 standard.
The airport now can serve an additional 12 million passengers annually, generating an economic impact of $5.6 billion.
