Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport Terminal Renewal & Improvement Program (TRIP) – Parking Garage

DFW TRIP Parking Garage

DFW Airport, Texas

The Terminal Renewal & Improvement Program (TRIP) at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport was a transformative, multi-phase modernization initiative aimed at enhancing the passenger experience and operational efficiency across Terminals A, B, C, and E. Manhattan Construction, as part of the MBJ3 joint venture, was awarded over $945 million to lead the renovation of Terminals B and E, spanning more than 1.7 million square feet and involving 75 existing gates and the construction of eight new gates.

The project included extensive upgrades to IT, security, and MEP systems, new concessions and ticketing areas, and a complete overhaul of terminal finishes. All work was performed while maintaining full airport operations, requiring a highly coordinated, phased approach to construction.

Supporting this massive terminal transformation was the construction and renovation of parking infrastructure, including a 7,000-space, three-level parking garage. Designed to accommodate the increased passenger volume and improve landside access, the garage was a critical component of the TRIP program.

Manhattan’s team integrated the garage construction into the broader phasing strategy, ensuring that parking availability was maintained throughout the project. The garage features surface and structured parking, with efficient circulation patterns and wayfinding systems to streamline the traveler experience. Its design supports high turnover and peak traffic volumes, essential for one of the world’s busiest airports.

The garage also played a key role in the airport’s sustainability and modernization goals. Manhattan coordinated the installation of energy-efficient lighting, durable traffic coatings, and integrated security systems to align with DFW’s long-term operational standards.
