14:15 - 14:40 - Consolidated airport administration facilities: the internal aerotropolis workplace
Synopsis: As airports grow, the size and complexity of their administrative staff grows accordingly. With multiple departments responsible for everything from accounting to IT, they are typically located throughout the airport, in ad-hoc facilities, challenged in size, support space and convenience. Increasingly, airports are recognising the benefits of consolidating staff into a modern, centralised facility enhancing efficiency with modern workplace planning, proper support spaces and employee amenities such as food service, fitness centres, outdoor areas and day care. The presentation will focus on the design process and implementation of two such examples for DFW and SFO.
