UrbanARCH in the News

The American Institute of Architects – Memphis Chapter (AIA Memphis), hosted its awards gala in November, and is proud to announce the recipients of its 2025 Design Awards, recognizing outstanding achievements across multiple categories including Interior Design, Restoration/Renovation, and New Construction.

Memphis Airport is demolishing its 50-year-old Concourse A as part of a $700 million modernization project. The cleared space will make way for a new administration building and baggage inspection system. The renovation also involves relocating rideshare services and completing other construction milestones by late 2025/early 2026.

Memphis International Airport is taking another big step in its $700 million modernization project. A building permit valued at $66.8 million was recently filed, covering the construction of a new checked baggage inspection system (CBIS) and administration building. It was filed by Matt Newell of UrbanArch Associates, the project’s designers.
