The new Terminal C Canopy will improve the traveler experience by providing more weather protection and natural light at the curb. The project also includes high-capacity elevators between the terminal and Central Garage to more quickly get travelers to their gates.
The new, larger canopy will feature solar panels that will generate enough power to exceed the lighting needs for the curb areas on both levels and uses strong, corrosion resistant plastic called ETFE that allows natural light to pass through while still protecting passengers from the weather. It will give the entrance to Terminal C a modern aesthetic and, more importantly, provide sustainability benefits.
Customer benefits from this initiative include:
- 3,073 metric tons of CO2 saved by replacing glass roof with ETFE.
- More weather protection and light.
- Higher capacity elevators improve passenger experience.
