A positive passenger experience is Hillsborough County Aviation Authority’s top priority. In fact, in 2010 J.D. Power and Associates ranked Tampa International Airport (TPA) as the third best mid-sized airport in America based on customer satisfaction. As part of a 20-year master plan to enhance the airport, HCAA hired Gresham Smith to modernize TPA’s main terminal. Working with the client to establish an overall vision based on guiding principles, our team transformed the traditional transit hub to a distinct, dynamic destination.
