JFK International Airport, Terminal One, New York, NY
Forensic Analysis
Project Scope: New Construction
$450,000,000
684,000 s.f.
This project represented the first major new terminal construction at JFK International Airport in twenty-five years. The original Eastern Air Lines' 1958 terminal was demolished and its modern replacement was financed by a consortium of four international airlines (Air France, Japan Airlines, Korean Air, and Lufthansa). The $450-million, award-winning construction was completed in 1998 and has eleven gates.
As owner, the four airlines requested several changes to the original design drawings in order to achieve a sustainable, low-maintenance, and durable design that also fulfilled aesthetic and acoustical requirements. The architect contracted GREYHAWK to review and quantify the effort they expended outside of the agreed upon scope to justify its claim for additional services.
GREYHAWK’s services included a review of the original scope and contract documents, as well as a comparison with drawings and proposals for alternate design schemes. GREYHAWK assisted in the negotiations with the owner and demonstrated that the architect performed additional services than was originally contemplated by both parties. The owner agreed and, as a result, these negotiations resulted in a mutually agreeable settlement.
- JFK airport serves about 30 million passengers a year and employees more than 37,000 people
- The airport was originally dedicated as New York International Airport in 1948, although the name "Idlewild" (the name of the golf course on which it was built) remained in common use and the official airport code was IDL.
- On December 24, 1963, the airport was renamed John F. Kennedy International Airport to honor the memory of the late President John F. Kennedy, who had been assassinated on November 22 of that year.
- JFK is the top international air passenger gateway to the United States and is also the leading freight gateway to the country by value of shipmen
