AECOM, Suffolk and luis vidal + architects are celebrating the official opening of the modernized Terminal E at Boston Logan International Airport (BOS).
The new terminal has been designed to better accommodates passenger needs in support of Massachusetts’s regional economy whilst minimizing any impact on the local community and the environment.
AECOM served as the prime consultant and architect, delivering full architectural and engineering services and luis vidal + architects served as the vision architect.
We are incredibly proud to support Massport’s vision to revitalize the facility into a 21st century global hub.
Suffolk provided preconstruction and construction management services marking its fourth collaboration with AECOM on successful projects at Boston Logan.
It is a testament to the strength of the Boston region’s demand for travel.
We thank Massport and our stakeholders for their vision and dedication to making this project a success.”
The modernization includes 390,000 square feet of new and shared space, with an emphasis on an enhanced passenger experience, operational flexibility, and sustainability through a high-performing, resilient, and resource-efficient construction.
Key program elements include the addition of the new gates, renovations to the existing terminal, departure lounges, concessions, international arrivals, improved wayfinding, and enhanced ticketing, plus a new passenger security checkpoint, airline clubs, baggage systems, and a central, multi-story great hall.
“Boston is one of the most elegant and welcoming cities in the world,” says Luis Vidal, president and founding partner of luis vidal + architects. “It was important to our entire design team that these words become part of the DNA of Logan’s new Terminal E.
The result is a bold, striking building designed with sustainable principles and focused on providing a unique, comfortable, and healthy environment for passengers and workers alike.”
A central design feature is the terminal’s swooping iconic red roof that reveals panoramic views of downtown Boston and the city’s skyline for departing passengers.
The interior centers around the terminal’s great hall, which is flooded with natural sunlight.
Sustainability initiatives include the incorporation of recycled materials, solar energy, electrification stations, electrochromic and photovoltaic glass, super insulation, and advanced interior and exterior building systems to minimize its carbon footprint.
The terminal is seeking LEED Gold status from the U.S.
Green Building Council.
Terminal E will forever stand as a symbol of innovation for the City of Boston and welcoming beacon for visitors throughout the world.”
Our team is honored to have implemented the most state-of-the-art tools and technologies to plan and manage the construction of this sophisticated project.
