Indianapolis Terminal Design Looking Secure and Green
A new midfield terminal at Indianapolis International Airport is the first to be designed completely with post-9/11 security requirements, say its designers. The $350-million, 1-million-sq-ft terminal is part of a nearly $1-billion expansion program.
The conceptual design, unveiled earlier this summer, features a glass-and-steel main terminal and two concourses up to 800 ft long extending out from either side. The 75-ft-high, 40-gate terminal is designed for energy efficiency as well as security, says Ripley Rasmus, designer for HOK Aviation Groups St. Louis office.
