Checking in on Hollywood Burbank Airport's $1.3B replacement terminal
Hollywood Burbank's existing terminal, completed in 1920s, sits at the south of the airport property - adjacent to the Burbank Airport South station on Metrolink's Ventura County Line. The placement of the new terminal, in addition to modern amenities, will provide greater distance from airport runways. However, plans still call for stair access to planes in lieu of jet bridges (at the request of airport stakeholders).
The replacement terminal's design-build team includes Corgan, Holder, Pankow, TEC, CannonDesign, and Burns & McDonnell. The new structure features a swooping roof canopy that will extend into facade of the airport's parking structure. The design has been described as evoking a silver screen in a public plaza, and has many hallmarks of Mid-Century Modern architecture seen throughout Los Angeles County.
