Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport held a grand opening event of its Eighth Concourse at Terminal 4 on June 17 before opening it to the public on June 20. The new $310 million eight-gate concourse adds 275,000 square feet in space and serves Southwest Airlines.
The concourse offers and array of customer amenities. The project includes a variety of features including a new transfer bridge connecting the south concourses to the north. This means travelers can easily connect between A and D gates.
This concourse provides spectacular views of the Phoenix landscape. Looking south, passengers will see South Mountain Park in the distance. They will also have a nice view of the Air National Guard 161st Refueling Wing.
To take advantage of these landscapes, the new concourse boasts 14,000 square feet of electrochromic glazing which is intelligent, tinted glass for enhanced passenger comfort and improved energy efficiency. The View Smart window technologies use artificial intelligence to automatically adjust to the sun so passengers can comfortably sit right up next to the windows without experiencing excessive heat or glare.
To further capture the uniquely Arizona feel of this concourse, a Diamondhead Baffle ceiling mimicking the sand dunes of the desert hangs in the concourse. The materials used were made from recycled water bottles.
There is also public art featured in the walkway to the concourse. Artist Susan Logoreci designed “Phoenix Lights, Phoenix Rising.” The floor shows aerial views of the Phoenix landscape with airplane shaped windows and views along the walls.
The “Amenities Zone” includes a nursing room, family restroom, Animal Relief Area, vending and ATM machines. The new concourse also features other customer amenities like access to charging stations in every seat, “tech” tables providing workspace with charging stations and hearing loop incorporated in all hold rooms.
