About Police and Airport Authority Headquarters (The HQ) building
The HQ, a new four-story, 62,000-square-foot building, will house both the airport police station and administrative campus for the Reno-Tahoe Airport Authority. The building will serve as the headquarters for all police operations, public meetings, and essential business management functions of the RTAA. The $76 million facility is designed to accommodate the airport’s expansion and staff needs over the next 20 years.
The administrative levels will feature modern office spaces for staff, public meeting spaces for the Board of Trustees, and versatile collaborative areas designed to support business operations and stakeholder events. By relocating RTAA staff and board functions from the terminal, the project will free up valuable terminal space, creating new opportunities for vendor operations and enhanced passenger amenities. The HQ’s close proximity to the terminal ensures continued accessibility for essential management operations.
The new state-of-the-art police station is designed to enhance safety and operational efficiency for passengers, officers, and the community. Strategically located on the ground floor of the new building, the station will streamline emergency response times and provide easier access for public interactions. The new facility reflects RTAAPD‘s commitment to delivering exceptional service while maintaining the highest standards of safety through the airport’s expansion and future growth.
The HQ is designed with public access in mind to foster stronger connections between airport police, airport authority, and the community. Situated along the airport loop road, the building will feature a dedicated public entrance, a welcoming reception area, and a comfortable public waiting space. The second floor of the building will house all public meetings with the RTAA Board of Trustees and other stakeholders.
