A-10 Airport Passenger Terminal Planning and Design Space and Movement/Access for ▫ Adequate queuing space—Airport Ticket Office, lobby, at security screening checkpoints ▫ Airport operational personnel ▫ Tenants/concessions—across/behind security boundary; deliveries ▫ Unimpeded security and emergency response routes New Construction vs. Alterations ▫ Both require the same attention to security ▫ Alterations at one location may affect security at downstream locations Sterile Areas ▫ Refers to the area between the security screening checkpoints and the aircraft loading bridge and/or holdroom door ▫ Primary objective; passenger containment, preventing access to weapons or contraband after the screening process has occurred ▫ Number of access portals limited to the minimum operational necessity, but not to preclude physical expansion or changes of increased airline/tenant operations ▫ Comply with local fire and life safety codes, Americans with Disabilities Act, and so forth ▫ Consider “hidden” potential access pathways in restrooms, airline lounges, kitchen facilities, plumbing chases, air vents, drains, trash chutes, utility tunnels or other channels ▫ Consider access needs of airport and airline personnel, operations offices, crew marshalling areas, maintenance and concession staff and supplies ▫ Tenant personnel and airport employees who require access into the sterile area from public occupancy areas (alternate paths away from security screening checkpoints) ▫ Emergency response routes and pathways—in and out for off-airport response, emergency medical services and fire personnel ▫ Concession delivery and storage requirements beyond security, including perishables ▫ Built-in security-friendly fixtures (i.e., railings, pillars, bollards, open lines of sight, etc.) Public Areas ▫ Curbside—points of congestion, baggage check handling and movement ▫ Public lobby areas (ticketing, bag claim, rental car) ▫ Carrier support areas requiring security considerations (lost luggage, package delivery, landside) with easy explosive ordinance disposal/law enforcement officer access ▫ Select furnishings and accessories—benches, ashtrays, trash cans—that avoid the concealment of explosives ▫ Minimal seating in ticketing lobbies will reduce congestion, push people outward ▫ Consider needs of international or high-risk aircraft operators with extended security measures during the passenger check-in process (i.e., El Al, Saudi). Additional queuing and processing space may be required ▫ Public emergency exits  Security doors vs. fire doors  Some exit requirements have specific widths and separation distances  Coordinate locations closely with the Fire Marshal and/or Code officials  Avoid moving persons from lower security areas to higher security areas  The number of emergency exits leading into secured areas should be minimized  Consider emergency doors with push-type panic bars with 15- to 30-second delays

Checklists (for Planning and Design) A-11 ▫ Concession areas  Consider moving concessions during heightened security  Short delivery access routes that minimize crossing security boundaries  Locate concessions storage areas in public or non-secured/low-risk areas (with appropriate screening when moved) Non-Public Areas ▫ Service Corridors, Stairwells and Vertical Circulation—should not cross boundaries of secure areas ▫ Airport Personnel/Administrative Offices—connect via corridors and stairs to minimize the need to cross security boundaries; accommodate visitors and public access—potential for satellite police, ID or first aid offices ▫ Tenant Spaces  Some tenants may have their own security, and/or require tie-in to the airport access control and alarm system  Tenant money-handling, overnight operations, early morning concession deliveries Security-Related Space for ▫ Security/Emergency Operations Center (expanded below) ▫ Transportation Security Administration ▫ Department of Homeland Security ▫ Federal Agencies (Federal Bureau of Investigation, Drug Enforcement Administration, etc.) ▫ Law Enforcement and Public Safety Areas  Public safety or police offices  Adequate space (in no particular order) for ▪ Briefing/work room ▪ Training classroom/offices ▪ Property/evidence room(s) ▪ Conference rooms—can be part of Airport Emergency Command Post/operations room(s) ▪ Holding cells ▪ Physical fitness area in conjunction with lockers, showers, and restrooms ▪ General storage areas ▪ Secured arms storage ▪ Kitchen/lunchroom facilities  Areas requiring access for public and tenants but protected with adequate controls ▪ Law enforcement officer administrative office ▪ Security ID badging office ▪ Lost and found ▪ Security Identification Display Area/tenant training rooms ▪ Medical services ▫ Law Enforcement Parking—direct landside/Security Identification Display Area access ▫ Dogs/K-9 Team Facilities ▫ If no on-site K-9, specify non-critical area for on-call K-9 use  Rule of thumb: a 4×8 indoor pen, attached to an outdoor fenced exercise run  Plumbing and drainage—epoxy coated for cleaning  Fresh air circulation, dry environment  Secured, and isolated from casual public contact  Areas for veterinarian services and training activities  Isolation from noise and odor sources, especially jet fuel fumes

A-12 Airport Passenger Terminal Planning and Design  Secured storage for explosives test and training items; coordinated with ATF  Consider proximity to Explosive Ordinance Disposal personnel and to threat containment units Security Operations Center ▫ Consider multiple redundant communications options for police, fire, rescue, airport operations, crash/hijack alert, off-airport emergency assistance, and security of communications ▫ Locate close to the Airport Emergency Command Post, in a secure area ▫ Cabling interconnections, a central location for reasonable cable lengths ▫ Floor space; cabinets; power; heating, ventilation, and air conditioning; fiber optics and cabling; and conduit paths ▫ Rear access to console for maintenance and update ▫ Fire alarm monitoring, Flight Information Display System, Baggage Information Display Systems ▫ Airport radio and personnel paging systems ▫ Plan for alternate secondary site capable of supporting the basic operation. ▫ Direct view of the airside and the isolated parking position is desirable. ▫ Space needs  Space for crisis management team’s operational group and negotiators  Advisory Circular 150/5200-31A regarding airport emergency planning can assist  Raised flooring is an option for installation of ducts and cable paths.

TRB’s Airport Cooperative Research Program (ACRP) Report 25, Airport Passenger Terminal Planning and Design comprises a guidebook, spreadsheet models, and a user’s guide in two volumes and a CD-ROM intended to provide guidance in planning and developing airport passenger terminals and to assist users in analyzing common issues related to airport terminal planning and design.

Volume 1 of ACRP Report 25 explores the passenger terminal planning process and provides, in a single reference document, the important criteria and requirements needed to help address emerging trends and develop potential solutions for airport passenger terminals. Volume 1 addresses the airside, terminal building, and landside components of the terminal complex.

Volume 2 of ACRP Report 25 consists of a CD-ROM containing 11 spreadsheet models, which include practical learning exercises and several airport-specific sample data sets to assist users in determining appropriate model inputs for their situations, and a user’s guide to assist the user in the correct use of each model. The models on the CD-ROM include such aspects of terminal planning as design hour determination, gate demand, check-in and passenger and baggage screening, which require complex analyses to support planning decisions. The CD-ROM is also available for download from TRB’s website as an ISO image.
