AIRPORT TERMINAL BUILDINGS

The Federal Aviation Agency presents this design guide to assist airport developers, architects, and engineers in planning airport terminal buildings and associated facilities to meet current and expanding demands of air users. Planners of airport ground facilities must recognize the aeronautical advances and transportation appetites of these users to match the degree of modernization attained by aircraft builders. Featured in the guide are discussions and recommendations on building space relationships, area requirements, noise control within the building, and building area planning. Information provided is intended to reduce but not eliminate research on the part of the architect, which is necessary to achieve an adequate, economical, and functional building.
