Day 2 - 15 March
Session: Airport Design, Planning & Development

10:55 - 11:25 - Focused stakeholder involvement in building Seattle's new international arrivals facility
Synopsis: A new $600m+ international arrivals facility is planned for Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA). Its progressive design build project delivery method calls for extensive stakeholder involvement as airport staff and the airlines all have major roles in project validation and design. Stakeholders are integrated with the design build team in a co-located facility. Collaborative processes offer defined roles for adding input, and should help ensure a project with fewer changes orders and lower costs. One unique feature in this project will be a 95ft-high bridge passenger terminal connection over a key taxiway to the new IAF building.

Audience will learn:

• The unique progressive design build project delivery process
• The importance of effectively managing stakeholder collaboration and involvement
• Unique aspects of this project include a fully automated passport control area, intuitive wayfinding and an iconic passenger bridge connector
• Examples of cost savings and facility enhancements by use of collaborative stakeholder engagement
• The reasons behind SEA's explosive growth and its importance as an international global connection point
