The Tom Bradley International Terminal Renovation Project was completed at Los Angeles International Airport.
The $737 million project, which took three years to complete, includes major interior renovations to airline check-in and passenger arrival lobbies, customs and immigration arrivals halls, arrivals corridors, restrooms, in-line baggage screening system, public art displays and boarding gates. Along with a much more contemporary look, the terminal also incorporates improved accessibility for passengers with disabilities, upgraded utilities, energy-efficient lighting and other new elements. New large first- and business-class lounges were also added. Lounge amenities include Wi-Fi access, individual work stations, business center services and showers.
The new facility is expected to reduce congestion in the airline check-in lobby by eliminating the need for passengers to wait in line for their checked luggage to be screened. The airport installed many van-sized explosive detection systems in the airline check-in lobby following passage of a federal law requiring all checked luggage be screened using electronic measures in the near future.
