INVENTORY OF EXISTING CONDITIONS Overall, the building is in good condition. However, the building systems are a mix between old and new. The HVAC system is approximately 25 years old and is operating beyond its designed useful life. Operating expenses for this system have increased due to the need for continual maintenance. It should be noted too that while Concourse B is in good condition, it does not provide the level of service now expected from a terminal building. The concourse is not heated and handicap access to the ramp for ground loading is difficult. Aircraft Gates The Eugene Airport has two concourses with gates for passengers to board and de-board aircraft. They are known as Concourse A and Concourse B respectively. Concourse A is used for larger jet aircraft and consists of six gates labeled A1 through A6. Located on the second floor of the terminal building, A Gates have passenger boarding bridges (PBB) commonly known as jet bridges. Gate A1 is the only A Gate that does not have a PBB, so passengers are required to use stairs or an elevator to transition to and from the aircraft for ground boarding of the aircraft. Gates A2 through A6 are served by PBBs manufactured by JBT AeroTech. The five PBBs are a three-tunnel model that, when fully extended, reach a length of 110 feet, and when fully retracted, reduce to a length of 50 feet. The PBBs also provide additional lighting for the terminal apron through mounted floodlights. Concourse B houses four gates labeled B1 through B3 and B North, all located on the first floor of the terminal building. Turboprop aircraft primarily park at these gates because all B-gates require passengers to transition to/from aircraft via ground boarding. Two of the B-gates historically were served by PBBs, however these have since been decommissioned. These gates also serve as remain-overnight (RON) positions. As of 2017, all positions were being used for RON aircraft. EUGENE AIRPORT MASTER PLAN 1-21
