The Central Revenue Collection Plaza at MIA has elevated the traditionally mundane revenue collection building type, typically utilitarian in nature, to that of a gateway feature element celebrating entry to one of the most dynamic cities in the world. The sixteen lane, 400ft long structure creates a unique and memorable gateway to the “Magic City” as you depart Miami International Airport.

The architects collaborated with Chicago artist John David Mooney to create Miami Wave, a multi-colored concrete paving design inspired by Miami’s unique light and water; an art installation integrated into the overall plaza design creating visual unity. The project, located in an extremely dynamic seven acre urban setting, centralizes parking toll collection combining conventional attendant cashier services with state-of-the-art electronic credit/debit card and “speed pass” technology.
