BA developed design concepts for a Cruise Ship Terminal and Northeast Wharf Plaza (public park) constructed on an 8-acre pier site comprised by the existing Pier 27 and the adjacent vehicular area next to Pier 29. BA was able to effectively contrast the concepts of alteration vs. new construction from operational, capital cost and long-term maintenance perspectives to allow the City to develop a right-sized budget and schedule. Through the use of passenger circulation simulation, we were also able to minimize the amount of buildable area required.
