Tulsa International Airport Receives Award

 

The Tulsa International Airport was recently recognized by the Tulsa Foundation for Architecture as their 2008 Foundation Landmark Award recipient. The Landmark Award identifies and honors a physical artifact, building, structure or place that is a significant part of Tulsa's heritage.

Tulsa International Airport's current terminal building has been a landmark for more than 40 years. It is the first experience that many visitors have of Tulsa, and a familiar passage welcoming area residents’ home from their travels. The Foundation noted the airport's many strengths include its versatility and flexibility, especially in regards to the changes in air travel and security; it has necessitated modifications to the terminal building without compromising the integrity of the original modern design.

Other Foundation Award recipients included Herb Fritz for the 2008 Lifetime Achievement Award and The Warren Place Site Improvements for the 2008 Foundation Leadership Award.
