Beyond it, elevators were removed and the T-connector was doubled in width to open up the circulation space and provide a view to the airfield as passengers head right and left to their gates. Overall, the post-security footprint is now 24% larger. Its definitely a big impact on the flow through the space, notes Manriquez. Its much more experiential, more inviting. Grumblatt explains that the design optimizes the existing space and will maximize concessions revenue in a way that wasnt possible with the former layout. Moving TSA operations northward creates a usable, revenue-generating space after the passenger checkpoint. Theres the hospitality side of it, too, he adds. Upgrades to the holdrooms, furniture, ceilings and new lighting all enhance the customer experience.Heritage Elements, Modern UpdatesThe Sunport already has a really well-established sense of place, Manriquez says. We were inspired to continue it and not do away with old design touches, but bring them into a more modern aesthetic and make some of the colors pop even more.
