ST. LOUIS — A new $114 million maintenance complex will open at St. Louis Lambert International Airport. The 285,000-square-foot complex will replace the existing 135,000-square-foot facility, which dates to the 1960s and is located in a flood-prone area. Situated on higher ground, the new facility will provide expanded, modernized space to meet the maintenance and sheltering needs of modern airfield equipment. The project will also consolidate critical airfield operations into two facilities, including snow removal, vehicle repair, materials warehousing, landscaping and maintenance functions. These operations are currently spread across nine buildings, some of which are more than 50 years old. Construction began in October 2025 and is expected to be completed in late 2027. KAI is providing mechanical, electrical and plumbing engineering services for the project. Wright Construction Services is the general contractor, Kwame and HR Green Inc. serve as the program manager and Jacobs is the architect and structural engineer. Funding for the project was made possible through a $20 million grant from the Federal Aviation Administration and a $4.6 million grant under the Airport Infrastructure Grants program through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.
