McAfee3 is one of five firms in the Joint Venture known as The Hartsfield Planning Collaborative (HPC), whose other members are HNTB, B&E Jackson, S.L. King Associates, and Cecil Chan Associates. McAfee3 is providing lead architectural services for the planning and design of the expansion and renovation of Hartsfield Atlanta International Airport. Known as the world’s busiest airport, the $5.2 billion capital improvement program is to satisfy current aviation demand and forecasted growth. McAfee3 and the JV team are integrating major capacity projects with replacement/upgrade/maintenance and expansion projects in the Central Passenger Terminal Complex (CPTC); the Consolidated Rental Car Facility (CONRAC); an expanded automated people mover (APM); a new fifth runway/taxiway complex; a new domestic terminal, and expanded air cargo facilities. Though the project was already an awesome and complex undertaking, September 11, 2001, placed new challenges on the HPC team. McAfee3 responded to changing security needs as well as financial challenges for the airlines and support services.
