Venice Marco Polo International Airport (VCE) Expansion – Lotto 2B

Following the inauguration of the Passenger Terminal refurbishment and extension (Lotto 1) of Venice Marco Polo Airport, One Works was appointed to continue the design of Lotto 2B – expansion of the airside capacity and facilities, as part of the airports wider Masterplan project now under construction.

Now complete, the first phase of works of the new airside extension has provided 3,500 sqm of new large and comfortable spaces to accommodate the strong growth in Extra Schengen passengers, which today accounts for 32% of the total traffic travelling through the airport.

The main constituent elements of the extension project are:

• the extension of the Extra Schengen arrivals hall (ground floor);
• the extension of the Extra Schengen departure hall (first floor), whose “sailing” false ceiling represents a stylistic signature characterising the entire work;
• the construction of a new tower that will be added to the existing 7 served by two new mobile fingers, which will be connected to the terminal via a fixed pier.
