Spatial Media was engaged by Arup and the Ottawa International Airport Authority (OIAA) to create an interactive map and visualisation to demonstrate the compelling visualisation that brought the airport’s long-term development strategy to life.
The interactive map illustrates the building expansions that occur during each incremental development phase. Our animation translates the complex planning framework into a clear, visually engaging video that communicates the proposed terminal and airside improvements to key stakeholders.
Working with limited design information, we developed 3D animations that showed the transformation of the airport over time, highlighting key milestones such as TB Check-In upgrades and CBSA Capacity Enhancements. The video allowed the project team to visually demonstrate how investment could be staged in response to demand, and how the strategy aligned with broader business and operational priorities. This visual tool became a central asset in stakeholder presentations and helped build confidence in the long-term vision for YOW.
