Bismarck Municipal Airport Passenger Terminal- Bismarck, ND:
This airport terminal was opened in 2005. It was built to replace the existing terminal from the 80s that was aging, and extremely undersized. This is the only non-private terminal at the airport, and it has four gates. The building is currently around 70,000 square feet, and consists of two floors. The lower level is the pre-security area, and it contains check-in/customer service desks for Delta, United, Allegiant, and American Airlines, an airport history museum, a small café, a baggage claim area, and rental car service counters for Avis, Enterprise, and Hertz. It also contains some behind-the-scenes airport maintenance and operations areas. The upper level consists of waiting areas for arrivals and each gate, the security checkpoint,a restaurant/small shop, and all of the administrative offices for the airport.
I actually think this airport has some pretty cool 2000s architecture/styling:
This airport was designed to serve around 240,000 passengers yearly, but it is now serving over 580,000 passengers annually, which is more than 340,000 annual passengers over capacity, They are now currently planning an expansion that will almost double the size of the airport. That expansion is currently in the planning phases, and is set to start construction in 2027 or 2028. The project is currently set to be done by 2030. Because the current system is obsolete, it will likely be upgraded. Here is the current system, which is still all original:
Original System (2005-2030(?)):
Panel: Simplex 4100U with voice evac
Notification Appliances: Simplex 4903-935(6-8) TrueAlert speaker/strobes, and 4904-933(1-3) TrueAlert remote strobes
Pull Stations: Simplex 4099-9001 IDNet addressable pull stations
Smoke Detectors: Simplex 4098-9714 photoelectric TrueAlarm smoke heads on 4098-9792 IDNet addressable bases
Annunciator: 3-bay Simplex 4100U “Remote Command Center” with an annunciator, and voice evacuation system controls
I will make a post later in Make Up a System (2.0) on what I think may happen with the updated system. I don’t see this system changing much for the next few years, and it probably would still have at least a decade before getting touched if it wasn’t for the major expansion.
