LaGuardia Airport New Terminal B

Transportation Lighting

The most successful transportation projects depend on seamless collaboration, where architectural vision, engineering precision, and lighting expertise come together as one integrated system.

LaGuardia Airport Terminal B transformed one of the nation’s busiest airports into a 1.3 million-square-foot, 35-gate passenger terminal. Delivered by the Skanska Walsh design-build team with HOK and WSP, the project required close coordination across every discipline to ensure the lighting systems could be successfully built, operated, and maintained.

As a WBE partner to WSP, Goldstick Studio developed the electrical lighting design for the terminal’s extensive operational spaces while providing circuiting, lighting control panel specification, emergency lighting design, and construction documentation that supported a fully coordinated lighting system throughout the facility.

Bridging Architecture, Engineering, and Operations

Complex transportation facilities rely on more than architectural vision alone. Every lighting system must support safety, operations, maintenance, emergency power, and long-term reliability while remaining fully coordinated with the building’s electrical infrastructure.

Goldstick Studio worked across the architectural, lighting design, and engineering teams to help ensure those systems functioned as one cohesive solution. From passenger-facing spaces to the critical infrastructure that keeps the terminal operating around the clock, our role helped connect lighting design with the technical documentation required for successful construction and operation.

Technical Coordination Behind Every Passenger Journey

While travelers experience the terminal through bright concourses and welcoming public spaces, airport operations depend on carefully coordinated lighting behind the scenes. Goldstick Studio designed the lighting for back-of-house operational areas and developed the electrical systems supporting the entire facility, creating dependable lighting solutions that balance performance, maintainability, and operational efficiency.

From baggage handling and support spaces to lighting controls and emergency systems, every element was designed to contribute to a fully integrated airport environment.
