The Design-Build Institute of America awarded the 2023 National Award of Excellence and National Award of Merit in the Aviation category to the Tampa International Airport, Blue Express Curbsides project. The Blue Express Curbsides project is the first-of-its-kind solution that created eight new lanes that allow passengers without checked bags to bypass ticketing and baggage claim and go directly to and from their gates. The project also included the construction of a vertical circulation building and a 10,000 SF Central Utility Plant between the parking garage and the terminal building.
