Woods Bagot has shared a video from the recent overnight installation of its Midfield Satellite Concourse South (or MSC South) project at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX).
The project adds around 146,000 square feet of space and eight gates designed to hold narrowbody aircraft.

Its realization was made possible by an innovative new process called Offsite Construction and Relocation (or OCR), which calls for an in-situ delivery staged in nine segments in order to avoid costly disruptions to air traffic operations after the process began earlier this year just north of the airport’s northernmost runways. Buro Happold (structural engineering, sustainability, lighting, and acoustical design) was able to ensure its delivery in partnership with RAW International.
The next step after this major hurdle will be to assemble each of the segments through 2025.
Woods Bagot’s Ian Lomas served as the Principal in Charge of the project, working out of the firm’s Los Angeles studio. The project is targeting a LEED Silver certification.
