Concourse A: The 2,100-foot concourse includes 14 airline gates, a dozen restaurants and shops, and the airport’s first moving sidewalks. Arrivals hall: Arriving travelers, on their way to the baggage area, will enter a grand hall that features a 70-foot-high exposed structural ceiling and a 300-foot-long curved wall of glass. Artwork includes a rock and water feature on both sides of the window wall. Public art: Nearly $2 million worth of art was integrated into the new terminal. Examples include a security wall by Linda Beaumont composed of 82 painted and silk-screened glass panels. Baggage: Four new baggage carousels were added, along with an integrated security system for outgoing baggage that includes equipment for detecting explosives. The system will handle one-third of Sea-Tac’s baggage, about 52,000 bags a day. Tenants: New ticket counters in the South Terminal are occupied by Asiana, SAS, British Airlines, Aeroflot and EVA. The terminal’s gates will be used by American, China Airlines, Delta, Frontier, Hawaiian, Sun Country and ATA. |
