![]() ![]() The mission of the Salt Lake City Department of Airports is to develop and manage a system of airports, owned by Salt Lake City, which provides quality transportation facilities and services to optimize convenience, safety and efficiency for aviation customers. No local tax dollars are being spent on the project. The project is being funded by user fees-primarily by airlines serving SLC-as well as savings, car rental fees, passenger facility charges and airport revenue bonds. SLC is currently undergoing a $5.1 billion redevelopment program, the first phase of which opened in September of 2020. More than 300 flights depart daily to 90 nonstop destinations. SLC is the 21st busiest airport in the United States and the 47th busiest in the world. The department also operates South Valley Regional and Tooele Valley Airports. Salt Lake City's Mayor, the City Council and a nine-member advisory board of citizen volunteers oversee its affairs. ![]() A counterpart to this installation, Northern Light, will be installed in the second phase of the project, into a concourse that is still under construction and is set to be complete in 2024.The Salt Lake City International Airport (SLC) is operated and managed by the Salt Lake City Department of Airports, a department of Salt Lake City Corporation. The Falls is one of several very large-scale, structurally integrated artworks into the whole Salt Lake City Airport Redevelopment Program. ![]() With such a large-scale project, many professionals came together to make such a big idea into a reality. ![]() This massive project involved in-depth collaboration with airport executives, the architectural firm on the project - HOK, design teams, fabrication companies, etc. This 6-story escalator well sculpture is meant to activate and beautify the space and take advantage of the natural light this area receives. Cascading roughly six stories from the terminal ceiling to the floor, the suspended sculpture makes use of the natural light this location receives by partnering colorful, light-sensitive dichroic glass panels with light refracting glass rods to create ever-changing colors and patterns on adjacent surfaces. Similar to The Canyon, this installation is inspired by Utah’s natural beauty and resembles the waterfalls dispersed among the state’s canyon landscape. In the escalator well of the new terminal, just beyond the building’s glass façade is Huether’s 65-foot-tall installation titled, The Falls. ![]()
