Sioux Falls SD Airport Parking

◼️ Project Spotlight > Sioux Falls, SD Regional Airport Parking Structure

We’re excited to highlight our involvement in the Sioux Falls Regional Airport Parking Structure, a significant addition to the region's infrastructure. This four-level parking ramp, which provides nearly 1,000 covered spaces, benefits from Gage Brothers’ architectural precast solutions that combine both durability and aesthetic appeal. The project features our custom cladding with finishes inspired by local Quartzite, creating a seamless blend with the surrounding landscape.

FSD Airport Parking Structure in Sioux Falls SD

Our contribution didn’t stop there. We also provided precast stair towers for the Main Stair Elevator Lobby, enhancing passenger flow and connecting visitors to a second-level skyway leading directly to the terminal. These elements underscore the versatility and efficiency of precast concrete in large-scale public projects.

Learn more about the impact of Gage Brothers’ craftsmanship and how precast is shaping the future of infrastructure. Explore the full project profile on our website.

Mental health is an invisible crisis in the Architecture-Engineering-Construction (AEC) industries. A rising number of workers and their families are experiencing rising levels of stress and anxiety. Nationally in the AEC construction industries, more workers die annually by suicide than by all occupational injuries combined.

Learn how a culture of caring and well-being can reduce the serious risks of substance misuse and suicide. This session focuses on WHY these topics are imperative for AEC leaders at all levels. Learn what you and your company can do to help promote mental well-being and reduce the risk of suicide among your workforce and in our industry.
