VANCOUVER — The Pier D Expansion project at YVR has landed safely.
Officials announced this month that the terminal project at Vancouver’s YVR airport was officially complete. The new expansion features eight new gates, a glassed-in island forest with access to the outdoors, an immersive digital experience and a yoga, prayer and quiet room. The project was the airport’s largest expansion since 1996.
However, the COVID-19 has halted the airport’s plans to open the facility to travellers.
“The Pier D Expansion is a strong investment in our future at YVR and positions us well for when air traffic rebounds to pre-pandemic levels,” reads a release from YVR.
Airport officials noted the expansion would not have been possible without the effort of over 500 individuals.
“We want to especially thank the construction team, led by PCL Construction, the design team, led by Kasian Architecture and Creacom and Eos who brought the digital experience in Pier D to life,” said YVR in a release.
The expansion also includes:
- a private nursing room;
- pet relief area;
- Musqueam artist designed vision strips;
- hot and cold water bottle refill stations; and
- extra outlets and charging stations.
