Abu Dhabi Airport's stunning Midfield Terminal


Abu Dhabi Airport's stunning Midfield Terminal
The 700,000-sqm Midfield Terminal Building (MTB) at Abu Dhabi International Airport is planned to open in 2017.
The centrepiece of Abu Dhabi Airports Company's (ADAC) multibillion-dollar investment programme
is the Midfield Terminal Complex (MTC), which will provide a full terminal building, passenger and cargo facilities,
and duty-free shops and restaurants for a total capacity of 27-40 million people a year.
The MTC's terminal building will be the largest in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, and one of the region's
most architecturally impressive structures. It will be between 630,000 and 702,369sqm in size,
and visible from more than 1.5km away.
The central space of the terminal building could hold three full-sized football pitches
and features a ceiling 52m tall at its highest point.
Solid cladding has also been integrated in the design, further reducing the impact of the sun.
