LSW provided complete M/P/E consulting services for Terminal 2, 3 and 4, including connections to the north and south concourses via combination pedestrian/utility bridges at Terminal 4.

• Terminal 2 is a one- and two-story structure of approximately 35,000 SF, constructed in 1962 with an addition in 1979. The parking garage contains 2,413 spaces on two levels.
• Terminal 3 is a four-story structure constructed in 1974 of approximately 173,000 SF. The parking garage provides 2,274 spaces on eight levels.

Building Interior
Design features included over 100 air handling systems of both constant and variable volume types. Air distribution is typically linear type for compatibility with architectural ceiling features. Where possible, "Ventilation Only" type systems were used for baggage handling and similar areas for energy conservation. Air handling equipment was custom designed to fit available equipment rooms and based on the large size of the order, resulting in optimal life cycle cost. Special filtration was provided to deal with jet fuel fumes in ramp areas and low temperature glycol cooling systems were designed for cooling of aircraft parked at ramps. Interior lighting was designed to provide comfortable, usable illumination levels. Lighting sources were primarily H.I.D. type on interior locations and low pressure sodium on exterior locations.

Terminal 4 is a 3,300,000 SF ten-story structure built in 1990 with recent concourse and retail additions. Baggage handling is located in the basement, baggage claim is on level one, ticketing is on level tow and passenger circulation is on level 3. Levels 4 through 9 provide 6,700 parking spaces.

Terminal 4 Central Plant
This facility is designed with six 1000-ton chillers for the terminal building and two concourses. There is space for four additional 1000-ton chillers to serve future concourses.

Terminal 3 Concourse and Parking Building Phase
This phase included all M/P/E systems, energy management control system, fire alarm, CCTV, electronic doors and security systems. A carbon monoxide monitoring system protects the buildings from excessive engine exhaust, and a CCTV system provides surveillance and security information. The Terminal 3 central plant serves the complex with four 800-ton chillers, and microprocessor control systems monitor the heating and air conditioning systems and automatically bills tenants for utilities.

LSW provided lighting for each runway and taxiway at Sky Harbor, as well as lighting for Sky Harbor Boulevard. A prototype control tower for the Federal Aviation Authority (FAA) including new lighting vault, beacon, and state of the art tower contact panel was also designed.
