Chattanooga Airport’s terminal expansion just landed the 2025 Commercial Service Airport Architectural Project of the Year—and while the jet bridges and sleek finishes turned heads, it’s what you don’t hear that sealed the win.
Led by Derthick Henley & Wilkerson Architects, the 26,000 sf expansion and 36,000 sf renovation delivered more than new gates and amenities—it introduced calm, clarity, and acoustical refinement. Central to this was the integration of folded acoustic baffles, which quietly elevated both comfort and design.
📐 Why it worked:
• Baffles cut reverberation in high-traffic zones like TSA and gate areas.
• Their sculptural rhythm enhances the terminal’s soaring roofline.
• They balance performance and aesthetics—creating a seamless, quiet travel experience.
Judges called the terminal “highly refined”—and we’d say, sound has never looked better.
CSI Creative’s red Folded Acoustic Baffles elevate the Chattanooga Airport terminal with a bold yet refined statement. Their deep, rich hues introduce a touch of luxury and visual drama, creating a warm and elegant overhead landscape. Beyond their aesthetic impact, these baffles enhance the passenger experience by reducing noise and echo, reinforcing a calm, comfortable ambience throughout the space.
