The Airport Terminal Building in Iqaluit, Nunavut is large part of the Territory of Nunavut’s Economy. The old terminal building featured safety and efficiency concerns. To address this the Government of Nunavut embarked on the Iqaluit International Airport Improvement Project, which is one of the largest public infrastructure endeavors ever built in Iqaluit order invest in the future of the Territory, it’s growing population and increased air traffic it is subjected to. The project included rehabilitation of the airports infrastructure and the creation of a new Airport Terminal Building and Combined Services Building.
