Terminal 3 Boarding Area E

completed

SFO completed Boarding Area E, the first phase of Terminal 3’s renovation in 2014. Home to United Airlines, Boarding Area E is scheduled to re-open to travelers on January 28, 2014. The $138 million project has completely transformed the boarding area to meet the needs of today’s modern travelers. Key features of the new Boarding Area include high-tech interactive displays, thoughtful amenities, local dining and shopping options and a sustainable design expected to achieve LEED® Gold certification. Natural light, sweeping views, and more comfortable and spacious waiting areas creates a sophisticated and relaxing space for passengers to enjoy. The renovation of Terminal 3 East (T3E) is a capital program that includes two projects: the 68,000-square foot Boarding Area E, the eastern pier of Terminal 3; and the 150,000-square foot connecting eastern concourse to Boarding Area F. Originally constructed in 1981, Boarding Area E offers 10 gates for United Airlines guests. Renovated through a design-build partnership between Hensel Phelps, Gensler and the KPA Group, the updated boarding area offers more spacious waiting areas, natural lighting and sweeping views, luxury amenities, unique local retail and dining options and thoughtful spaces for business travelers and families. Upon re-opening in January, the new boarding area accommodates customers on more than 50 arrivals and 50 departures each day.
