Dane County Regional Airport (MSN) is experiencing continued growth, both in operations and staffing, necessitating the expansion of its administrative facilities. Currently, administrative staff are dispersed across three separate floors within the terminal building. This layout presents operational inefficiencies, restricts public visitor access, and limits opportunities for collaboration among departments.
To address these challenges and support future growth, MSN is initiating a project to expand and consolidate its administrative offices onto a single, 3rd floor space. This centralization will enhance internal communication, improve workflow, and foster a more collaborative work environment. Additionally, relocating staff from the first and second floors will free up valuable space for future tenant development and other airport-related functions. Based on January 2026 structural study, the expansion will add ≈ 12,000-square feet to the 3rd floor.
As MSN continues to evolve to meet the demands of the region, this expansion is a critical step in ensuring the airport’s administrative infrastructure can effectively support its long-term strategic goals.
Demonstrated ability to perform all aspects of the Project, including recent experience with airport architectural projects of similar scope and complexity for administrative offices.
