San Francisco International Airport – Terminal 2, 15th Gate Renovation

As Lead Architect on the Turner / Woods Bagot / AE3 design-build team, AE3 delivered the renovation and expansion of Gate 15 at San Francisco International Airport’s Terminal 2. Landside work included reconfiguring two adjacent hold rooms and the retail atrium to increase seating capacity, expand the gate access corridor, and integrate new signage, furnishings, and deluge sprinkler upgrades. Airside improvements added two fixed walkways, a new passenger boarding bridge, a fuel pit, expanded apron pavement, revised aircraft parking positions for five nearby gates, and enhanced lighting for the new aircraft location. AE3 provided full design services from programming through construction documentation and construction administration, navigating an accelerated eight-month schedule, active gate operations, tight budget constraints, and coordination with multiple stakeholders, while accommodating various aircraft types following the Virgin America and Alaska Airlines merger.
