Boston Logan International Airport’s Terminal E, Transportation Project of the Year
Won by: AECOM and Massport
Massport and AECOM collaborated closely to deliver Boston Logan International Airport’s new, Terminal E. As prime consultant and lead master architect, we helped realize a striking final structure while incorporating sustainability at every turn.
The terminal’s many low-carbon design features include recycled materials, solar energy, electrification stations, electrochromic and photovoltaic glass, and advanced interior and exterior building systems to minimize the structure’s carbon footprint. Thanks to these solutions, Terminal E has set a new standard for sustainability, charting a path to net zero and LEED Gold status from the U.S. Green Building Council.
