Baggage Handling Systems Building at Toronto Pearson International Airport

Proposed Project: Baggage Handling Systems Building

This project involves the following:

As part of the Greater Toronto Airports Authority's (GTAA's) Toronto Pearson Airport Longterm Investment in Facilities & Terminals (LIFT) Program, improvements are proposed to the Baggage Handling Systems.  This will include the construction of a new Baggage Handling Systems Building.

The proposed project consists of constructing a new Baggage Handling System (BHS) building that will house carousels and screening equipment. The structure will include two buildings - a sortation building and a baggage screening building joined by an enclosed elevated connection.  A second enclosed elevated conveyor will connect this BHS facility with the existing baggage system in Terminal 3. The buildings will be located airside between Terminal 1 and Terminal 3 on currently developed land with an approximate building footprint of 4000sqm.  

Sustainability best practices will be integrated into both the design and construction phases, aligning with the broader Long-Term Investment in Facilities and Terminals (LIFT) Program at Toronto Pearson Airport.
