Part of the 3,300-acre airport’s updated, 20-year masterplan, the Tampa International Airport project includes the expansion of the main terminal transfer level and improvements to its concessions, which will provide added shopping convenience for travelers and improve the airport’s revenue stream.
Apart from that the project also includes developing a design for a new, centralised concessions distribution warehouse. It will relocate the automated people mover (APM) stations in the main terminal transfer level, which will help expand the area in which travelers can interact with one another.
Additionally, the project will improve the overall aesthetics and functional layout of the landside terminal transfer area, which is expected to include way-finding signage, and various terminal refurbishments and seating improvements.
The terminal expansion project is scheduled to complete in 2014.
