The recently completed Terminal 4.5 Core at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) has received LEED Gold certification – the second highest Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) distinction – following a review by the U.S. Green Building Council affiliate, Green Business Certification, the airport said.
Opened in November 2022, Terminal 4.5 Core provides a centralized location between Terminals 4 and 5 where passengers can access all four levels of the terminal building pre-security.
“A core principle of our Sustainability Action Plan is that all major building and renovation projects at LAX are required to achieve LEED Silver Certification or better, and Terminal 4.5 Core achieving LEED Gold – a class above silver – moves us one step closer to realizing our longer-term goal of carbon neutrality by 2045,” said Justin Erbacci, CEO of Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA), which oversees LAX. “Terminal 4.5 Core demonstrates that we can deliver on our sustainability objectives while still delivering inspiring architecture, innovative digital solutions and a continued focus on an exceptional travel experience.”
