Our team is helping DFW rethink how its facilities work together, ensuring that front‑of‑house enhancements are supported by equally strategic back‑of‑house, airside, and landside improvements. This holistic approach allows the airport to serve growing passenger volumes while advancing its long‑term vision for a more seamless, resilient, and future‑ready operation.

For the airport’s rental car center, Gresham Smith provided professional design, design management and construction services, including counter modernization and HVAC/BAS rehabilitation. We transformed the former subdivided “mini-mall” concept into a continuous counter design, creating a unified and adaptable transaction area for all rent-a-car (RAC) companies and helping reduce capital costs as RACs transition in and out of the market. The renovation also enhances operational efficiency by increasing counter capacity; standardizing finishes, ceilings, and lighting; adding a video wall behind the counter positions to support dynamic branded signage; and upgrading to high-efficiency HVAC systems for consistent climate control.
Prior to the on-call contract, Gresham Smith also delivered the design for a new eight‑level parking garage serving Terminal D and led a campus‑wide signage and wayfinding overhaul, spanning more than 12,000 signs and $23 million in improvements.
