Secure Connector - San Francisco International Airport
This $20-million project at the San Francisco International Airport (SFO) involved a new secured bridge/walkway connecting United Airlines domestic and international boarding areas. It included a long-span enclosed bridge that extends from Terminal 3 (T3) to a tower at the International Terminal Building (ITB). The tower has two elevators and a set of escalators to transfer passengers from the lower level up to the departures area. This was the first project that the airport carried out using the design-build delivery method. hb+a Architects was a project managment subconsultant to Gerson/Overstreet Architects.
