Dublin airport’s second terminal capable of handling 15 million passengers per year
The terminal is designed to provide a modern and efficient gateway to Ireland. The three storey curvilinear terminal building is situated next door to the existing terminal one building.
The building has two main components, a check-in area and a departures and arrivals area, which are situated on opposite sides of an existing road. These two elements are connected by a linking bridge and united though the continuous form of the roof.
The new terminal is connected to a 400 metre pier which has space for 19 aircrafts.
