The project involved the new expansion of the International Terminal Pier D at Vancouver International Airport – Canada’s second largest and second busiest airport.

This expansion is the largest expansion at the airport since 1996. This expansion includes 8 new gates for international travel, a brand-new outdoor atrium with three full size trees and
tide pools, thematic features and digital experience, several new food and beverage stores, and several new retail stores.

Consisting of three total levels to align with the existing Pier ; Ground floor (L2) being the smaller flight gates and holding areas; Next floor up (L3) being the main pier floor with the 4 large scale flight gates and the usual airport amenities seen on the existing pier. Level 4 serves as a catwalk floor, with other amenities available, including a prayer room, yoga room, and pet relief areas. Level 5, the Roof Floor, includes the two major mechanical room and the main high-voltage substation room.

The expansion also has a new Solar Panel Heating System and is tied to the existing West Chevron plant for emergency power. It is also interconnected with the existing heating/cooling plant and has a supplemental dedicated Chiller to serve for cooling needs if the central plant is down for maintenance or service.

Another unique feature to this expansion is the vestibule gates on the main ground floor (level 2), where passengers are bussed via an ECO Charter Bus out/from to the expanded area to/from the main terminal area.
