Abstract
In order to meet future capacity requirements for inbound baggage, border control and passenger areas, Copenhagen Airports have initiated the T3 airside expansion project — adding 80,000 sqm on the southern side of the existing terminal facility. Located in the heart of the airport, the project is both a unique opportunity to develop the CPH one-roof terminal experience for the future and is one of the most complex and challenging construction projects in the history of the airport. The purpose of this paper is to give insights into three key principles, which are specifically designed to address the challenges and to realise the potential of this ambitious scheme: The creation of a clear and shared ‘vision’ statement; developing a ‘simple and flexible layout concept’ and ‘co-creation’ as the overall principle for design and building. In addition, the paper will describe the background and drivers for the project, and how it falls into the almost 100-year-old history of infrastructure development at CPH
Keywords: terminal development; terminal expansion; vision statement; cocreation; stakeholder involvement; flexibility; Master Planning
