Greater Rochester International Airport

Rochester, NY

Engineered to support over 30 pounds per square foot of snow load, the steel and PTFE canopy at the Frederick Douglass Greater Rochester International Airport was a fast-tracked design-build project. It was built in under 15 months to cover the arrival and departing curbside passenger areas. The canopies provide weather protection to pedestrians and their vehicles during the loading and unloading process throughout the year.

ETS designed and modeled eight canopy structures from provided architectural concepts and structural parameters, collaborated with the project team to refine constructability, procured over 900 tons of AESS steel and 86,000 square feet of PTFE membrane, and expedited installation.
