Meyer said the new terminal would expand KCI’s passenger capacity from about 30,000 passengers a day to more than 50,000. The terminal will also include 10 rooms for nursing mothers and infants, a quiet room, two Delta Sky Club lounges and an aircraft cabin simulator made with the front of a scrapped Airbus A321 plane to accommodate autistic passengers who may experience negative reactions to airplane travel. Each concourse has a restroom core that includes a water bottle station, a family restroom with an adult-sized changing table, a multiuser restroom, gendered restrooms and service animal relief areas. There are a total of 39 gates.Īccessibility is a key theme in the design of the terminal. Two moving walkways will expedite transfers between two concourses. Inside the skeleton of the roughly 1 million square-foot terminal, more than half of the artwork - created by multiple artists after an intensive selection process - has been installed.
