Plan in Action for Airport "Green Build"
Airport Authority Board authorizes design, construction and funding for The Green Build
The San Diego County Regional Airport Authority Board today voted to authorize design, construction and funding for The Green Build – Moving Forward, Soaring Higher – formerly known as the Terminal Development Program. When completed, the program will enhance the travelers’ experience and enhance the airport’s efficiency and safety.
This is the largest expansion ever at Lindbergh Field in its 81-year history.
The Board decision included approval of the budget for The Green Build at approximately $1 billion – $865 million direct costs and $145 million in financing costs. The following improvements are part of The Green Build:
10 new jet gates at Terminal 2 West A dual-level roadway at Terminal 2, featuring an arrivals curb on level one and a departures curb on level two to relieve current curbside congestion and smart curb technology, which allows travelers to check in for their flight even before entering the terminal Additional parking for remain-over-night aircraft to eliminate the need for aircraft to taxi across the runway Taxiway improvements to enhance the flow of aircraft traffic New, expanded dining and shopping options More comfortable holding areas at the gates More and improved security checkpoints Public art integrated throughout the terminal expansion and outside areas
The Green Build will help meet current demand at SDIA, as well as make the traveling experience more comfortable and enjoyable for San Diego County residents and visitors.
Design and construction will proceed in partnership with Turner/PLC/FCI Joint Venture for the Terminal 2 West building and airside expansion, and Kiewit/Sundt Joint Venture for the dual-level roadway and landside improvements in front of Terminal 2 West. At peak construction, The Green Build is expected to provide nearly 1,000 construction-related jobs.

WWW.SAN.ORGSustainability and environmental sensitivity are hallmarks of The Green Build. Construction will incorporate sustainable design principles with the goal of meeting Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Silver certification.
The first phase of the project to get under way will be construction of parking for remain-over-night aircraft. The second phase includes terminal and dual-level roadway construction beginning in 2010, pending receipt of California Coastal Commission permits.
The Green Build is expected to be completed in late 2012/early 2013.
