LGA TERMINAL B

PROJECT NAME

LOCATION New York, New York

LOCATION Project Location

SERVICES Architecture, Engineering, Interiors, Planning + Urban Design, Sustainable Design

KEY DATA Key Project Details

SIZE 1.3 million sq. ft.

SERVICES Service Description

STATUS Project Status

The new Terminal B celebrates arrivals and departures with equal emphasis, challenging the industry practice of reserving the most monumental spaces for departures while relegating arrivals to lowceilinged, basement-like zones.

The interior environment of the new headhouse communicates New York City’s vibrancy, material sensibility and cultural diversity. Incoming and outgoing passengers share soaring, airy, grandscaled sequences punctuated by 60-foot-high ceilings and floor-toceiling windows that fill the space with daylight.

Retail and dining ‘neighborhoods’ beyond the TSA checkpoint include offerings from New York originals such as Bowery Bay Shops, Brooklyn Diner, Gotham Newsstand, FAO Schwartz and Shake Shack. An outdoor dining area offers dramatic views of Manhattan.

Terminal B’s indoor green space is modeled after New York City’s urban pocket parks and includes lush landscaping and sculptural benches. Concourses feature ample seating with charging stations across all 35 gates, spacious and modern restrooms with floors that literally sparkle, and nursing rooms for mothers and infants.

STATUS Project Status

SIZE 38,000 sq. ft.

The project adds 60,000 square feet of usable space—enough to comfortably fit a football field—to the terminal’s third-floor transfer level. It also adds 38,000 square feet of enclosed areas and 69 new concessions spaces. Four new outdoor terraces provide places for passengers to relax and enjoy the breezes and sunset views of Florida’s Gulf Coast.

HOK’s design creates a unified, visually accessible space across the east-west axis on the third floor. Pushing back shuttle enclosures and moving restaurants to the perimeter opened a central area for shops, work space for business travelers, a family zone, public art and comfortable lounge seating.

The design integrates the soft colors of Tampa’s beaches and bay as well as the lush greens and brightly colored local flora. Privacy glass in restaurant and event spaces allows for more natural light.

Airside improvements for all gate lounges include power poles, new seating options, recycle units and integrated concessions.

Sustainable design strategies are projected to make the expansion 30 percent more energy efficient than required by current energy standards

Generosity of spirit, the importance of making visitors feel instantly at ease and the creation of a memorable and inspiring series of spaces have been central to the conceptual approach taken in the HOK design proposals for the first purpose- built Premium Lounge at Heathrow Terminal 4.

Rescinding the international anonymity of the typical airline lounge, HOK’s design attempts to capture a genuine flavour of culture and heritage, whilst at the same time introducing passengers to a progressive outlook and a confidence that thrives in the country. This focus on the contemporary interpretation of Qatar will ensure that the concept is wholly suited to Premium Lounge implementation projects in other airport destinations.

Using visual references of the pearl, the desert and the welcome, the Premium Lounge has been designed specifically to provide the visitor with a rich and warm visual experience with luxury and comfort at its core.

The AMEX Centurion Lounge at San Francisco International Airport reinvents the premium domestic airline lounge experience while effectively re-branding AMEX as a high-end financial services firm.

Images of San Francisco icons such as Jerry Garcia, make the space celebrate San Francisco at the same time incorporating the AMEX brand. An all-glass elevator transports visitors up through a glass two-story high lobby to the lounge level. The main focal point of the lobby is a 30-foot vegetated living green wall.

The 8,000 square foot lounge offers AMEX members outstanding California-style cuisine overseen by a renowned regional chef alongside a full-service wine and signature cocktail bar.

The Centurion Lounge serves as an oasis from the hustle and bustle of the airline terminal environment. Multiple furniture arrangements offer visitors various options for relaxing or work activities, while a family-oriented room allows children a safe and fun environment for electronic gaming, video watching and recompose.
