Phoenix Sky Train, Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport

The Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport underwent a massive project to introduce an automated train/people mover to its facility. For the initial phase of the project, architectural firm HOK of Culver City was tasked with designing four stations: a remote station that connects to the METRO light rail system, a station that connects to a separate parking area, and stations in Terminals 3 and 4. HOK specified Forms+Surfaces' LEVELe Wall Panel System to cover more than 25,000 square feet of surface space in the airport, including a 300-foot-long feature wall. The airport's facilities group approved the use of our High Durability Sandstone finish and Dallas Impression pattern on the stainless steel panels because both are excellent at hiding fingerprints – a huge plus in such a high-use public space.
