Montrose Regional Airport

-A A +A
1988, Patrik Davis Associates. 2100 Airport Rd.

Local architect Patrik Davis designed the Montrose airport terminal to greet visitors with small-town hospitality. A two-sided fireplace is the centerpiece of the passenger seating area, which has a tile floor patterned with the Ute pictogram for travel and a high, skylighted ceiling of knotty pine. The walls are earthy, ground-face cinderblock, and natural-finished glue-laminated beams extend over wide walkways. The gable roof has skylights and dormers decorated with the Hopi good luck symbol.
