An inspirational passage into NYC, LaGuardia Airport’s new Terminal B celebrates arrivals and departures with equal emphasis. It challenges the industry practice of reserving the most monumental spaces for departures while relegating arrivals to low-ceilinged, basement-like zones. The transparent, fluid design of the 850,000-sq.-ft. Arrivals and Departures Hall celebrates movement while conveying a strong civic presence in a city known for its remarkable architecture. In the spirit of grand transportation centers like New York’s celebrated Grand Central Terminal, the new Terminal B ushers in an ambitious new era of mobility and travel. The terminal raises the bar on airport design in the US. HoK has proved that design that anticipates the broadest range of people can work seamlessly and deliver delight too.
The ongoing $5.1 billion project is the largest public-private partnership in U.S. aviation history. LaGuardia’s new Terminal B is now attracting the interest of federal and state governments attempting to determine how to pay for desperately needed infrastructure projects.
