More than 164,000 square feet
of space will be remodeled
and 117,000 square feet of
new walkways and concession
space will be added to the
airport terminal.
LEE COUNTY PORT AUTHORITY
SOUTHWEST FLORIDA Regional Airport (RSW) is
streamlining its terminal to provide a better overall
guest experience for travelers.
The $331 million project focuses
on improving the airport's efficiency
by consolidating security checkpoints,
adding concession space and providing
passengers more amenities. More than
164,000 square feet of space will be
remodeled and 117,000 square feet of
new walkways and concession space will
be added to the airport terminal.
Ben Siegel, executive director of
the Lee County Port Authority, said
the project is aimed at improving
operational efficiency and providing a
better guest experience, not building
capacity. The current design comes from
a pre-9/11 era and has three different
Transportation Security Administration
(TSA) checkpoints that keep travelers
confined to their concourse and limit
dining and shopping options.
" It wasn't efficient for the Transportation
Security Administration, it wasn't
efficient for our concession program, "
Siegel said. " It has been problematic for a
number of reasons for the past 15 years. "
The new updated terminal will
consolidate the checkpoints into one
centralized location with a 16-lane
configuration. All RSW travelers will
be able to go to any of the concourses
that they so desire for shopping, eating
and other options.
