This major refurbishment and new build project for Terminal 3 consisted of new lighting design concepts for the extended public realm / forecourt area, the new 120mx18mx12m ETFE canopy and the new entrance Annex to Virgin's new check in area. The visual impression of each area and features had to work individually and as a whole, contributing to architecture and landscape as well as customer experience.
The extensive use of LED's in feature areas , coupled with sophisticated lighting controls, has meant a versatile, long lamps life/low maintenance solution.
The latest design outing in Virgin's desire for excellence, this purpose built new build, designed by Fosters and Partners, is lit to ensure that Virgin's Upper Class passengers feel that their arrival at Heathrow Is in style.

The 50,000m² concourse provides 14 aircraft stands for the new generation of Airbus 380 passenger jets.
The building comprises an open gate departures lounge, an arrivals concourse, retail outlets, a commercially important passenger lounge, and vertical circulation cores to the underground track transit system that connects to the main terminal. The departures lounge uses displacement ventilation coupled with a chilled ceiling to offset peak summertime cooling loads. Highly glazed solar loads and direct sun penetration will be controlled by efficient fa ade design with the use of an external shading vale.
Extensive daylighting and thermal dynamic modelling was used to analyse the internal environment.

This 45 million transport hub facility interfaces the existing rail station with a new metrolink, a new coach and bus station and existing airport terminals. The facility also includes a new 8000m², eight-storey office development.
The Interchange is the first integrated facility in the UK to include passenger check-in facilities. It is also intended for non-air-passenger users, who will find the airport a convenient place to connect with rail, bus and coach services. The scheme was designed to achieve an excellent BREEAM rating. This reflects the airport s policy of sustainable development.

The 5 million Terminal 1 refurbishment involved the upgrade of both landside and airside concourses, including a major overhaul of the numerous retail units. Complex engineering logistics were required to maintain terminal operation and satisfy over 40 independent retailers. This ensured that Manchester Airport maintained their retail revenue throughout the duration of the works.
The project was undertaken as an 'Integrated Supply Chain' with co-located design teams working successfully on an extremely fast track programme.
Hoare Lea's 'hands on' mechanical and electrical design role enabled quick responses to engineering issues ensuring the project was handed over in time, to budget and to strict quality standards.
