Transportation Center
The Transportation Center is a facility to efficiently manage
the traffic flow concentrated around the terminal. It covers

a total area of 249,896㎡ and is a multi-purpose structure
with 3 underground stories and 2 above-ground stories. The
center features a railway station and concourse for passengers
arriving from the Seoul Metropolitan Area, a parking facility

that can accommodate approximately 5,000 vehicles, and
amenities for passengers and airport employees. To harmonize
with the Passenger Terminal, the above-ground structure was
minimized, and the center includes a Great Hall featuring

appropriate symbolism and passenger amenities, as well as
a sunken garden. The roof was designed as a 3-dimensional
curved steel (truss) structure to maintain an open space in front
of Terminal 1 and ensure harmony with it. The parking facility

was built from the ground floor down to 5 underground levels.
The Great Hall of the Transportation Center is composed of
4 main elements: the Roof Truss, Arm Structure, Oculus, and
Jewel. The Jewel not only enhances the design but also helps
