CONRAC Groundbreaking
With grand opening scheduled for 2028, community leaders and project stakeholders broke ground earlier in the fall on the new Ground Transportation Center and Consolidated Rental Car Facility at Reno-Tahoe International Airport (RNO). Ainsworth Associates Mechanical Engineers was proud to provide the mechanical and plumbing engineering on the 440,000-square-foot facility which will serve as a cornerstone of the airport’s $1 billion MoreRNO Infrastructure Program. The project brings all rental car operations and ground transportation providers into a single, on-airport location with direct pedestrian access from baggage claim via a covered walkway. The facility will house fueling stations, car washes, and 300 staging and storage spaces servicing up to 10 rental car brands (freeing up space in the public parking garage), as well as to serve as a central hub for ground transportation operators including local hotel and casino shuttles, buses to Lake Tahoe, taxis, Uber, Lyft, Turo, and others. As this amazing community continues to grow and evolve, we couldn’t be more thrilled to be at the (literal) center of it all.
