Airport Tower Seismic Retrofit and Administration Office Renovation

Renton Municipal Airport control towerThe control tower, built in 1961, received a seismic inspection that showed, without seismic retrofitting, the building will collapse on itself. The seismic retrofit project will add stabilizing beams to the exterior corners of the building, attached to each floor, that will hold the building during an earthquake.

The administration office, established in 1989, is undersized for the number of full time staff and visitors. During Phase II of construction, the first floor of the tower will be gutted and remodeled to accommodate additional staffing and add an educational aviation-themed visitors lobby.

  • Project Budget: ± $2.8million (2019)
  • Funding Source: TBD
  • Start: TBD
  • Expected Completion: TBD
  • Status: Pending grant funding
