Nordic have been involved in the planning and deisgn of Oslo International Airport from the beginning, starting with the masterplan in 1991 and the original terminal building in 1998.
The architectural work incorporated all phases of the project including specialist fields like baggage handling, apron design, passenger bridges, fire safety and coordination of technical facilities and equipment. The existing building has been described as Europe's most efficient airport terminal with its rational and simplistic design.
In 2009 Nordic submitted the winning entry in the competition to increase the existing capacity of the airport to 28-35 million passengers per year. The project involves the planning and design of airside and landside areas, expansion of the existing terminal building and a new pier.
The project comprises preliminary and detailed design, including contact with airlines, concessionaires and airport handling companies. In the first phase the capacity of the airport will rise to 28 million passenger per year, while in the second phase the number will increase to 35 million.
The design team aspires for the upgraded airport to be exemplary with regards to sustainability. The shape of the building has been optimized for taking advantage of passive solar energy and daylight, and is designed to be responsive to changing weather conditions. Low-carbon technologies such as district heating and natural thermal energy have also been key elements in the sustainability strategy. Oslo Airport is already one of the world’s most energy efficient airports, and the new terminal is designed to achieve ‘BREEAM Excellence’.
Focus on ensuring that universal design is an integral part of the overall architectural concept has been an important part of the expansion project. In keeping with the existing terminal, this strategy includes simple and understandable movement patterns giving the traveler a good overview and understanding of where to go.
The new and improved airport will open in 2017.
