Pier C Copenhagen Airport in Denmark by Schmidt Hammer Lassen ArchitectsJanuary 22nd, 2017 by Sumit Singhal
Article source: Schmidt Hammer Lassen Architects As one of the largest hubs in Northern Europe, Copenhagen Airport experiences an increase in passenger growth. This requires special measures in relation to control of entry papers and passports, and therefore these trips all take place from a specific departure area of CHP Airport called Pier C.
The extension to Pier C establishes facilities to handle the increase in non-EU, long-distance traffic. Three new gates ensure an increased capacity for non-EU and non-Schengen departures and arrivals. The three new gates with associated lounges comprise 5,000 m2. The new part of Pier C is planned with particular emphasis on innovation of passenger flow and logistics, not least in relation to the three lounges. It is not just a simple extension of the existing finger, but rather a reinterpretation and an improvement. In order to provide the best possible framework for handling the planes, a building with a minimum number of columns and very large spans was needed. This challenge has led to a more distinct and untraditional airport architecture. Contact Schmidt Hammer Lassen Architects
