Tampa International Airport (TPA) Airside D Terminal

615,000 FT2
Tampa, FL, USA
Aviation / Transportation
Project list

Overview

As a pivotal element of the airport’s multi-phased master plan, Airside D is designed to serve both domestic and international flights and accommodate an additional 13 million passengers annually. This 615,000-square-foot, two-story terminal is being engineered with a strong focus on advanced mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) systems, alongside cutting-edge technology infrastructure. Our aim is to deliver a highly functional, energy-efficient, and resilient facility that supports operational excellence and an enhanced passenger experience, all while pursuing future LEED certification.

The interior of Airside D is thoughtfully designed across its multiple levels to optimize functionality and passenger flow. Level 1, the ramp level, will house crucial airline support, the Federal Inspection Services (FIS) facility, a sterile corridor, and various mechanical and back-of-house areas. Level 2, the boarding level, will serve as the primary hub for passenger departures, featuring 16 versatile swing gates, the TSA Security Screening Checkpoint (SSCP), the main shuttle station, and spacious hold rooms. A mezzanine level will elevate the passenger experience, offering two exclusive airline lounges with panoramic views of the airfield and Tampa Bay.

Beyond the main terminal, the Airside D project encompasses critical supporting infrastructure. This includes an advanced Automated People Mover (APM) shuttle guideway system, spanning approximately 800 feet with a dual-lane structure, and a new Airside D passenger station for efficient transfers to and from the Main Terminal. An improved baggage handling system (BHS) is also a core component, designed to streamline both outbound screening (Checked Baggage Inspection System – CBIS) and inbound international baggage reclaim, as well as a complex preconditioned air (PCA) system.

The comprehensive design also includes infrastructure for state-of-the-art security systems, encompassing integrated CCTV, access control, and intrusion detection, particularly vital for the SSCP and FIS facility. These technological advancements, coupled with robust MEP design, are crucial for supporting the diverse operational demands of a modern international airside. Our emphasis on integrating these complex systems ensures an intuitive, safe, and efficient environment for millions of travelers while demonstrating a commitment to long-term performance and maintainability.
