Kansas City Airport, USA

The new terminal includes 1 million new square feet of space, 39 gates, 6,150 parking spaces and the arrivals and departures split into two levels for customer convenience and better traffic flow. Locally, the $1.5 billion initiative is the largest single infrastructure project in the city’s history. With features such as a sensory room, all-gender restrooms and provisions that will allow extra-wary travelers to practice clearing security and boarding a real aircraft, the terminal is setting new accessibility and inclusiveness standards for the entire airport industry.

The glass windscreen/rain-screen facade system was developed and specified in conjunction with Kuraray and Bendheim in NYC. It was installed at the new Kansas City International Airport (USA) parking garage. The glass panels are 6' W x 14' H, one of Kuraray’s most extensive applications of SentryGlas® Translucent White thus far.
