Using peak hour methodology based on forecast airline activity and optimum customer level of service planning factors, terminal facility space needs were determined. Even with recent improvements to baggage claim, the TSA security screening checkpoint, concessions, and secure-side holdroom space, the Eugene Airport terminal faces extreme pressure stemming from dramatically increasing passenger demand levels. Areas of deficiency throughout the PALs include the outbound baggage handling area, airline ticket counter queuing and active areas, airline ticketing offices, checked baggage screening facilities, passenger departure lounges, and certain secure and non-secure areas of public circulation. Terminal gates equipped with boarding bridges are also needed to meet aircraft operations and passenger activity over the 20-year planning period. <br />The preferred terminal development constructs a new concourse and expands airline ticketing and outbound baggage handling space. Preparation for concourse development begins with terminal area airfield construction to improve taxiway safety and provide remain-overnight parking pads which meet interim demand while the new concourse in constructed. The new concourse strategically begins the reorientation of terminal facilities and the terminal area apron and taxiways to meet the Airport’s vision of developing facilities in line with the airfield runway system. Reorientation of commercial terminal facilities marks the first step in achieving the Airport’s land use vision by optimizing the use of available airport land and providing safe and efficient aircraft ground operations. <br />Page 16
