The Port of Seattle Commission approved a final program budget of $399 million for the C Concourse Expansion project at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA), which will transform the area where the C and D Concourses meet by adding four additional floors to the building’s current three floors.
The project will create one floor of office space and three floors of new public space for customer service amenities, adding new dining and retail, premium lounge space, an interfaith prayer and meditation room, nursing room, and outdoor viewing area. The atrium area called the Tree at C will also feature grand seating as well as a performance area for live music.
“This is an exceptional project in terms of elevating the customer experience,” said Port of Seattle Commission President Sam Cho. “The expanded concourse will expand opportunities for local businesses and support the financial stewardship of the airport by increasing revenue opportunities. The whole time we build with intention by focusing on sustainability and ensuring that our construction expands opportunities through the entire community.”
Set to be completed in 2016, the C Concourse Expansion will feature a solar photovoltaic array and the design will leverage materials that have been produced with reduced carbon material. It will also have a high-performance air delivery system to enhance indoor air quality.
