Arcadis transformation of Terminal A at Newark Liberty International Airport meets key milestone with first flight
NEWARK, N.J., Jan. 12, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Arcadis, a leading global design and consultancy organization for natural and built assets, is pleased to announce their work at the Newark Liberty International Airport is reaching a peak milestone with the first flight departing Terminal A today. Arcadis staff served on the project's program management team since 2016, working with the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey to design-build and commission the new terminal. As part of the modernization and redevelopment of this terminal, Arcadis supported four key areas:
Keith Downing, Arcadis Program Director, said, "Arcadis is proud to have supported the Port Authority with Project Controls, BIM Assurance, Construction Management and IT Program Management services. We are delighted to have contributed to a program that provides the region with a world-class airport terminal that celerates New Jersey's rich heritage and makes a huge improvement to the passenger experience at Newark Liberty International Airport." Terminal A is the centerpiece of an airport-wide renaissance meant to establish Newark Liberty as a world-class gateway for New Jersey and New York. It replaces the outdated Terminal A that originally opened in 1973 and boasts a $2.7 billion-dollar price tag that is being referred to as "the largest design-build project in New Jersey history." The new terminal will be accredited LEED Silver - an impressive standard considering the program was conceived over 12 years ago. In addition, the parking facilities will host over 200 EV charging spaces. The larger terminal area will ultimately lead to a more pleasant and stress-free travel experience. Helga Junold, Vice President and Operations Director for Mobility NY and NJ of Arcadis, said, "At Arcadis we are proud to be a part of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey's Program management team, delivering a magnificent new terminal which will transform the passenger experience from curb to gate while contributing to the Port Authority's sustainability goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions from its facilities by 80% by 2050."
