The new 1.8 million square foot Terminal C facility addresses the challenges of rapid growth by increasing capacity while continuing to provide an exemplary passenger experience. It features elements that maximize the safety, security, and efficiency of the travel process including 100 percent automated screening lanes, 100 percent facial recognition “e-gates” for international departure, an innovative landside terminal design, and 100 percent trackable RFID Independent Carrier System. Impact: Terminal C at the Orlando International Airport is designed to be part of one the first LEEDv4 airport campuses, reflecting the airport’s commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility. The building’s strategic design includes a 35 percent targeted reduction in potable water use through efficient fixtures and equipment, a 25 percent targeted reduction in energy costs with a focus on thermal performance and optimal heating, and a 360-panel floating solar array to name a few. Terminal C also has a tremendous impact on the local community by be- ing one of the first airports to fully integrate multimodal ground-air-rail transportation, including rail to South Florida that is now in operation.
