Practice appointed to develop and deliver 拢130m new arrivals terminal concept
Pascall & Watson has confirmed its appointment to deliver a new 拢130m arrivals terminal at London Stansted Airport as part of a project that will see the existing terminal 鈥� designed by Norman Foster 鈥� reconfigured for departures-only operation.
Last year Stansted owner Manchester Airports Group for the creation of a new 34,000sq m terminal from Uttlesford district council as part of a 拢600m transformation programme for London鈥檚 鈥渢hird鈥� airport.
It said the concept for the arrivals terminal focused on a modular sky-lit roof floating above generous double-height spaces, while the soffit design reflected the single directional nature of the facility, providing an 鈥渋ntuitive鈥� passenger journey.
鈥淭he bespoke design complements the architecture of the existing building, which will be reconfigured into a dedicated departures-only terminal,鈥� the practice said.
鈥淭his will include the expansion of the check-in, security and retail areas, along with a new airside coaching facility, aircraft stands, taxiway infrastructure and car parking facilities.鈥�
MAG said the transformation programme was scheduled to last for five years and was the airport鈥檚 biggest upgrade in passenger facilities since the original terminal completed in 1991.
