SFO T3

Gensler rehabilitated SFO’s Terminal 3 boarding area intending to deliver a fresh, modernized, and lively environment that would put a harried traveler at ease. Part of the design required a displacement air ventilation system that conserved energy while providing cold air at a human level rather than from overhead. Gensler succeeded in collaboration with Arktura in achieving imaginative cladding for the ventilation system and columns using Graphic Perf®. The openings in the Graphic Perf® panels permit air to filter through while hiding the system from view while accenting Gensler’s bright and modern space.
