Gensler's design for San Francisco International Airport's renovated Terminal 3 Boarding Area E (T3BAE) showcases innovative design, interactive technology and a healthy environment carefully tuned to offer travelers a place where they will enjoy spending time. The 65,000-square-foot renovation features progressive sustainability measures that promote wellbeing, and is LEED-Gold certified.

A raised 'Flight Deck' interactive experience serves as an exciting physical point of entry to Boarding Area E, which includes 10 gates serving United Airlines. Highlighting service, hospitality and comfort, T3BAE's design offers travelers many choices for how they would like to enjoy their time in the airport. Passengers can view the exquisite art, change clothes in private dressing rooms, stretch out in the Yoga Room, or let their children unwind in an interactive play area.

The project was built in a design-build partnership between Hensel Phelps and Gensler for San Francisco International Airport.
