Make Architects is leading a multi-disciplinary team of experts to expand Stansted Airport to a new international hub, 25 minutes from central London. In July 2013, we submitted a strategic vision to the Airports Commission with proposals to extend the airport to a 4-runway hub. Stansted will provide a new hub that serves the whole of the UK and is able to withstand the demands of the next 150 years. Its location allows the development of an exemplary, sustainable four-runway airport capable of handling 120+ million passengers per year which creates a new paradigm for airports around the world. By building on existing facilities and infrastructure, this development approach allows the possibility of phased construction which will maximise existing assets and allow a flexible future development plan. Our vision is the establishment of a ‘campus airport’ – an attractive, efficient and compact development model with carefully planned ancillary infrastructure and support services - requiring proximity and well planned transport connectivity (plus a landscape setting well placed and integrated in the countryside). Stansted Airport will be a state-of-the-art facility that achieves the highest possible standards of environmental performance and acts as an exemplar of low carbon principles, positioning itself as Europe’s leading green hub airport. Make has prepared as part of our vision, a regional masterplan that looks to future development around the new hub, meeting the needs of the 120 million travellers per year, helping to spur the UK’s growing high-tech and manufacturing businesses and opening up the east side of the country for growth and prosperity. 3 images Share Location Related Projects West Kowloon MTR Hong Kong Morello London, East Croydon Station Croydon, UK Related Items News and events 23.10.2012 Stansted Airport Proposal 23.05.2013 Make unveils Stansted Airport Proposal 19.07.2013 Make submits Stansted expansion proposals with Airports Commission Library Annual 10 Stansted Airport Expansion Privacy policy - Copyright © 2014 Make Ltd.
