Dive Brief:

• It's hard to miss the construction cranes at Denver International Airport, and a new monthly Saturday program is inviting the public to visit to see what it's all about.
• The first tour was Saturday, timed to be during the annual "Doors Open Denver" weekend of building tours arranged by the Denver Architectural Foundation.
• Visitors bring their own boots, and the airport supplies the hard hats, safety vests and eye protection as they go through the skeleton of the 519-room Westin hotel and conference center and rail terminus that comprise the $544 million project.

Dive Insight:

There must have been some nervous moments in coming up with a program to invite all comers to ride up into and walk around a construction site. Denver International Airport gets credit for taking the steps to create a constituency awed by the magic of massive construction.
