Leeds Bradford Airport £100m Regeneration Programme

looking at the exterior of the new terminal, I hope they’re planning on tarting up the grey a little.

 

[Len Fish]

I’ve heard a rumour from a very unreliable source that they’re bringing in Banksy to do just that!

I'm hoping for some orange and tartan to add colour to LBA this month.

Not to mention good old red white and blue

Cladding continues!

Hi all. Long time reader first time posting. I maybe wrong. However I seriously don’t think that is the official cladding. I believe it’s the Kingspan type insulation sheets? The actual cladding will be installed over the top. Whiteheather maybe able to confirm or deny?

Unfortunately, I don't know if this is the final cladding (which presumably would have insulation embedded in it) or whether there's another layer to go over this.

Thanks for joining Forums4airports!

I don't know how much in the loop you are in but the building under construction is actually plan B and was previously knocked back in favour of a new terminal.
Whatever the reason, we are where we are, back to the original plans, plans which were kicked out for a reason. What can still be influenced is the internal aspects of the design. One of those changes for me is going from three arrivals carousels to five. Also moving the immigration location to the opposite end of the new building will allow a continuous flow for passengers which is something I brought up when the plans were originally released. Let's face it, the building is never going to win awards for its appearance but fingers crossed the internal design and layout should make a huge difference.

I still feel we may be surprised by the finished product as like i mentioned its not just going to be one big grey box from what the designs suggest, one lives in hope!

Thanks Aviador. I’ve been following all things LBA for more years than I care to remember. So fully up to speed with all the New Terminal approval, GALBA nonsense and the previous governments holding the application for further review thus extending the delays to spades in the ground and ultimate decision to cancel etc. And then going back to plan A of a terminal extension from 2018/9 approved plans. I took drive up there last week and had a quick peek at the site and thought I noticed grey sheets with the yellowish insulation at the sides. I’m probably wrong but wished I taken some pictures to share. Next time I’m up there I will try and get a few.

I like the grey.................it blends in with the murk and the cloud lol!!

 

[SierraHotel]

It's an LVP themed extension.

It's a natural camouflage scheme, in recognition of the Avro factory next door. Rumour has it that there will be artificial cows, sheep and shrubbery on the roof in the hope that they who shall not be named don't know it's there.

Maybe aircraft should be painted up in Black Cat firework colour schemes as there doesn't seem to be any problem with them going off all night.

Well Jet2’s 733’s are old bangers!

Interior walls going up

 

[Aviador]

It's supposed to be getting cold towards the end of the month so they'll want those external walls up pretty quickly now.

 

[Len Fish]

They really seem to be cracking on with it.
