The Fort Lauderdale Hollywood International Airport consists of four Terminals and six Concourses ( see figure 3 ). Each Terminal has two floors. The first floor is for arrivals and the second floor is for departures. Terminals 1, 2 and 3 are for domestic and international arrivals and departures. Terminal 4 is for international arrivals and departures.

Diagrammatic floor plans for each Terminal and their associated Concourses are provided in the Appendix of this document. To help ensure a consistent design approach for the integration of each Terminal project into the Fort Lauderdale Hollywood International Airport this Terminal Design Guidelines Manual or “Terminal DGM” has been developed. The document’s intent is to help bring each Design Professional’s ideas into the fabric of the airport which in and of itself represents its own unique regional features and local culture through the adopted Conceptual Design Statement of “your Portal to Paradise" and other airport branding efforts. It is a resource that helps to clearly outline the Terminal design parameters. It serves as a unifying document for modernization projects within the airport Terminals and their design and performance optimization.

The Design Guidelines are one in a series of guidelines that any project within the Fort Lauderdale Hollywood International Airport Terminals must comply. Each document is a volume, and part of a larger, comprehensive framework for the development of projects in the airport. Each document is coordinated and works in tandem with the others. ( see figure 5 ). There are two volumes of Design Guidelines; Terminal and Tenant. Depending on the project, one or the other will govern the design decisions for a project. In addition to the Terminal and Tenant Design Guidelines there are the following:

 Construction Guidelines that provide a technical reference to the acceptable components and assemblies that defines a project.  Wayfinding Guidelines that establish a uniform approach to signage, and passenger navigation through the Terminals  Sustainability Management Plan which establishes best practices and minimum standards for environmentally sensitive design.

All Terminal work within the Fort Lauderdale Hollywood International Airport will be governed by the Terminal DGM and three other BCAD documents ( see figure 5 ). A Compliance Review for the Terminal DGM will be conducted by a BCAD Design Review Committee (DRC). Refer to section 3.6 of this document for additional information.

The Broward County Aviation Department reserves the right to reject any proposed design project associated with the Terminals that it considers to be in aesthetic conflict with the design goals and parameters of the airport.

Conditions at the Fort Lauderdale International Airport vary by Terminal. The overall aesthetic is dated and requires well designed improvements. Natural and artificial light levels are lacking in many areas. Concourse ceilings are low and corridors are dull and boring. Elegant and sophisticated solutions are needed by design professionals to achieve BCAD’s goals for a modern 21 st^ century airport. Important considerations include:

 Appearance  Cost  Maintenance  Sustainability

1.3 Design Intent Integration

A successful modern Airport Terminal reflects the local and regional culture of its geographic location. The Broward County Aviation Department has adopted a unifying theme for the Fort Lauderdale Hollywood International Airport Terminal projects. FLL is a major arrival point in the South Florida region. It is a convenient airport for travelers because it is accessible, user friendly, and economical. The airport Terminals are the portals to Broward County and its diverse communities. It is a region that is recognized nationally and internationally due to its unique features that include:

 Bright blue skies, variety of exotic palms, and invigorating sunlight  Lush green vegetation with other vibrant colors  Beaches, riverwalks, and long boardwalks  A boating and yachting and cruise ship capital  Active arts and entertainment venues  Natural wonders (FL Everglades)  International business travelers  International vacationers  Bustling beachfront cafes, restaurants, cocktail lounges and nightlife  Elegant downtown cafes, upscale restaurants and shopping opportunities  Growing young, high-tech professional population in the high rise district  Diverse demographics of the local population including snowbirds as well as people with Caribbean and Latin ancestry.

Architects, Engineers & Interior Designers shall adopt the Concept Statement of:

your portal to paradise

This shall drive the development of creative, innovative and optimized design projects for Terminals One, Two, Three and Four. This theme coupled with the design professional’s development of efficient passenger processing and a unique spatial experience through lighting, materials, textures, colors, and systems integration should all contribute to an elegant and sophisticated Terminal space. The goal is to create a memorable and iconic traveling experience for passengers arriving and departing from the Fort Lauderdale Hollywood International airport. All Terminal projects should capture the vitality and beauty that Fort Lauderdale, Broward County and South Florida have to offer visitors.

CHAPTER 2 Design Guidelines

2.1 Innovations for Airport Terminals

“Airport terminal and landside projects are projected to account for well over one-half of the planned development costs at large- and medium-hub airports in the United States over the next 5 years. With construction costs increasing faster than inflation, the need for innovative solutions to address the common terminal and landside issues facing many U.S. airports is more crucial than ever.” (Source: ACRP Report 10 Innovations for Airport Terminal Facilities, 2008)

In order to transform an existing airport terminal into a 21 st^ facility that enhances operational efficiency and improves the passenger’s levels of service design professionals must be innovative. Every aspect of how one person or several hundreds of people are processed through the Terminal needs to be considered. This innovation by the Designer begins at curbside and continues along the passenger’s route of travel through the Terminal and to their gate.

BCAD’s objectives are to have all Designers contracted to do work at Fort Lauderdale Hollywood International Airport consider cost effective design and operational solutions. They also want professionals to focus on how a passenger can be quickly processed to ensure a unique, pleasant, and convenient traveling experience. The designer must recognize all of the applicable components of the existing facilities, while creating a new, clean and inviting image that enhances operational efficiency while improving the level of passenger service. Architects, Engineers and Interiors Designers are strongly encouraged to familiarize themselves with the Airport Cooperative Research Program (ARCP) “ARCP Report 10 Innovations for Airport Terminals”, sponsored by the Federal Aviation Administration.

2.2 Building Envelope Facades & Roof

Walls, Curtain Walls & Storefronts

The curbside exterior facades of the airport terminals are one of the most important visual elements of the facility. An inviting appearance sets the stage for the curb appeal and announces the start of the passengers traveling experience. The existing curtain wall and storefront systems at the Fort Lauderdale Hollywood International Airport require modernization. All exterior walls shall be designed for hurricane velocity winds per the Florida Building Code. Criteria for curtain walls and storefront design shall include: .

• Compliance with facility insurer’s requirements (e.g. FM Global) obtained from BCAD.
• Curtain Wall or Storefront System must have a valid Miami Dade County Notice of Acceptance (NOA) for large missile impact.
• Base shall be a minimum of 12” in height.
• Material should be brushed stainless steel or aluminum with a durable metallic finish (e.g. kynar).
• All fasteners shall be stainless steel. Dissimilar metals will be separated by a manufacturers approved washer (e.g. neoprene or other approved non reactive material). Refer to the Specialty Steel Industry of North America’s “Guideline for Selection of Fasteners Based on Galvanic Action.”
• Orientation shall be vertical or an outward slant of no more than 15 degrees away from the Terminal. No curtain walls or storefronts that have a slope towards the Terminal will be allowed.
• Incorporation of solar control devices on all east, west and south facing facades.
• All glass wall systems will not be allowed on the exterior of the terminal.
• Samples of all curtain wall and storefront systems with their intended finish must be provided to BCAD during Design Development for review and approval.

Glazing

Daylighting, views and open space all offer comfort and provide for a less stressful travel experience. Designers shall provide the maximum amount of glazing and natural light for terminal projects involving the building envelop that is allowable by budget. Building performance (e.g. heat gain, glare reduction, orientation, etc.) must also be considered when selecting glazing for a project.

BCAD prefers a green or blue colored glass. All glass selections will be reviewed and approved by BCAD. Slot type glazing within an exterior concrete wall system similar to Terminal 4 improvements shall be considered by Design Professional for Terminals 1, 2 and 3.

Terminal Roofing

All proposed modifications to the existing roofing systems at the airport terminals must be approved by and coordinated with BCAD. The following criteria must be incorporated for all roofing designs:

• Any existing warranty of the roofing system must be maintained if the roof is not replaced (e.g. Terminals that were recently reroofed).
• Innovative but proven roofing designs will be considered
• New roofing systems will carry a 20 year warranty
• All roof assemblies and products must have a valid Miami Dade Notice of Acceptance (NOA)
• All Roofing systems must be FM Global approved
• A minimum R-value of at least 19.0 shall be provided uniformly across the entire roof area
• A single ply system (90 mil thick) with a highly reflective surface is preferred by BCAD
• Exposed metal roofs may be considered by BCAD at terminal to terminal connectors and walkways
• All roofed areas of the Airport Terminal will be accessible by aluminum roof hatches (with current Miami-Dade NOA) and external wall mounted transfer ladders that are galvanized or aluminum
• Lighting protection systems will be provided at all roof locations
• Roof equipment shall be screened from view
• Antenna farms shalll be coordinated with the BCAD Telecommunications Department.

2.3 Materials and Finishes

Aesthetics, durability, maintainability and sustainability will be the key drivers for all materials and finishes used in all Fort Lauderdale Hollywood International Airport Terminal modernization projects. Architects, Engineers and Interior Designers must incorporate materials and finishes that will be very durable and abuse resistant. All materials and finishes must be able to maintain their aesthetic appeal when exposed to high occupant use and potential impact by traveler’s luggage. Design Professionals shall submit samples of all materials and finishes for review and approval by the BCAD. Lighter color materials and finishes that highlight the natural colors of South Florida are preferred.

Curbside Walkways

All exterior flooring and sidewalks shall be concrete with a broom finish. No patterned surface finishes will be allowed. No poured area of concrete shall be larger than 10’ x 10 ’. The minimum thickness for all poured concrete sidewalks shall be 5”. At entrances and along the Terminal’s exterior wall Designer’s should consider a thickened edge slab to help prevent cracking and support BCAD’s maintenance lift.

Special attention by Design Professionals shall be given to control and expansion joints. All joints shall be coordinate with the handrail modules. A 1/2" wide joint must be provided around every column.

Terminal Flooring

Poured in place terrazzo flooring will be used in the primary circulation paths of the terminals including public stairways and baggage claim areas. Primary divider strips will be 1/4” wide aluminum. Secondary divider joints will be 1/8” or 1/16” wide aluminum. Areas of continuous terrazzo flooring will not be larger than 10’ x 10’. Smaller areas are encouraged to help minimize cracking. Designers shall provide antifracture and waterproofing membranes below the terrazzo to control potential cracking and moisture problems. The terrazzo specified by BCAD ( see figures 40 & 41 ) is as follows:

 Terroxy Resin Systems: TM#10 – 2048  Natural Finish 800 Grit with Terra Shine  #3 Epoxy: 2001 White  Chips:

• 50% Crystal Glass #0,
• 40% Blanco Mexicano #0,
• 10% Classic MOP #2,

Provisions shall be provided for the floor substrate in order to assure a flush and level floor between terrazzo and other floor applications (e.g. carpet tile, etc.). Terrazzo flooring will not be allowed in restrooms due to ongoing problems with staining of the floors. Per BCAD, no pure surface coating or wax sealer shall be allowed. BCAD also reserves the right to request an artistic design for terrazzo flooring in the terminals. See figure 41a which is a cropped section of terrazzo floor art from Thomas Sayre’s Mangrove Islands.
