AIRPORTS

The report which notes that there will be a vast amount of airport construction of varying size and scope, describes successful domestic projects that will become prototypical. Recent projects at Miami International Airport utilize the spectrum of techniques available to the process of reviewing an older facility. These techniques include the reorganization of graphics, signage and interior design, and terminal building design to eliminate congestion for international flights. The addition of 750,000 square feet of new terminal space to the 100,000 square foot original terminal at Kennedy Airport, and the expansion and total renovation at the Baltimore-Washington International Airport are outlined. Other projects discussed here include a new arrivals facility at J.F. Kennedy International Airport, recent construction at Toledo Airport, the new Lubbock Regional Airport, and the new airport in Lincoln, Nebraska.
