IMEG is providing MEP and fire protection engineering for JFK International Airport’s new Terminal 6. The new terminal will add 10 gates to the Airport and house both JFK Millennium Partners and JetBlue Airways. The design includes more than 100,000-sf of commercial, dining, retail, lounge (s), and recreational space. Within the relatively narrow building footprint and very high and open public spaces, IMEG was tasked to create innovative ways to distribute the MEP/FP systems throughout the building.

As part of the design for this terminal, we collaborated with the airside civil power team to provide more than 40 electric vehicle charging stations, and facilitate the use of all electric ground service equipment at each gates. The design was based on the PosiCharge MVS platform with a power server and power stations connected to each grouping. The system operates on 480V input with an output range between 23 and 96V DC.

To support achieving LEED Gold certification, sustainable aspects include photovoltaic, rainwater harvesting, solar thermal, and displacement ventilation systems. When operational, the sustainably-designed facility will provide an optimized and unified experience for each airline, customers, and tenants creating a world-class experience at one of the U.S’s premier airports.

The new terminal is a design-build delivery project.
