LAX Terminal Cores & APM Interface
Los Angeles, CA 2019 - 2021
Tom Bradley International Terminal will be expanded 45-feet toward the east to accommodate a new vertical core to connect to the APM (automated people mover) station on the east side of World Way. The new vertical core is organized so that the APM pedestrian walkway, passenger Security Screening CheckPoint and aircraft gates are essentially on the same floor level. This will allow departing and arriving passengers with pre-printed boarding passes and carry-on bags to avoid level changes within the terminal and by-pass ticket lobbies and bag claim.
In support of the Landside Access Modernization Program (LAMP), this project will provide new Terminal Improvements at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) to integrate the new Automated People Mover (APM) system with the existing Terminals. This project includes a new 3+ level facility on the east side of the Tom Bradley International Terminal (TBIT) with elevators, escalators, and stairs. The TBIT Core will also include minor modifications, enhancements and additions to the existing interior spaces (restrooms, concessions, office space, etc.). A future pedestrian walkway will connect TBIT Core to the future APM Station between Parking Structures 3 and 4, and structural provisions will be included in the TBIT Core to support and interface with this future pedestrian walkway.
