BGT supplied advanced glass solutions for Newark Liberty International Airport’s new Terminal A, supporting the project’s bold architectural vision with high-performance, energy-efficient glazing systems.

At Newark Liberty International Airport, the new Terminal A combines robust functionality with generous spatial design and natural light. Spanning over one million square feet and featuring 33 gates, the facility accommodates more than 13 million passengers annually.

For the project, designed by Grimshaw Architects in partnership with STV, we supplied tailored glass solutions that support both the architectural vision and the project’s high-performance demands:

The façade concept includes insulating glass units with partially tempered glass, laminated safety glass with colour printing, and single-pane safety glass — all meeting demanding technical, aesthetic, and environmental criteria. These systems ensure energy efficiency (U-value: 1.3 W/m²K), acoustic comfort, and mechanical resistance under continuous use, while enhancing the light-filled, transparent character of the terminal.
