Lithuanian Airport and Arhchitects Association of Lithuania invites architects to participate in an open international architectural for the future development of the Vilnius Airport arrivals terminal. The link to the Competition documents: https://ted.europa.eu/en/notice/-/detail/702465-2024
The existing Airport infrastructure needs to be adapted to the rapidly increasing passenger flows and, at the same time, a more efficient and comfortable environment for passengers should be created. Therefore, Vilnius airport invites architects to design not only a new arrivals terminal, but also to connect it into a whole with the future Rail-Baltica gauge underground connection-station, as well as with the new departure terminal and the central square, which reconstruction is starting already in 2025. The area of the competition is 7,86 ha approx. The new arrival terminal T5 will feature all the necessary premises for usual functions (luggage system, welcome hall, premises for catering and other services, as well as offices for the Airport administration and offices for rent. In the complex, a new hotel is to be proposed.
