Noida International Airport, Jewar, India

Overview

As YIAPL stated, the winning design merges Swiss efficiency and Indian hospitality, setting new benchmarks in sustainability for airport terminal buildings in India, envisioning green spaces inside and around the building, offering a concept for a future airport city and providing flexible expansion options to serve 30 million passengers per year in the future. The Environmental and MEP Design approach for NIA project focuses on the Terminal Building while keeping a view on the broader picture of the sustainability of the airport as a whole. NIA should become a reference point as to how truly integrated design delivers both quality and value; this being both in the end-users’ experience - be it passengers or staff alike - and the client’s financial investment.
