This presentation will examine a recent restroom renovation project at DFW Airport, Terminal A in which off-site prefabrication was utilized as part of a design build delivery approach with the goal of reducing existing restroom downtime. The panel will include the lead architect for the project, the director of prefabrication, and a representative of the airport ownership team. We will recap the project, discuss the unique design approach of designing and implementing prefabricated elements in a secure airport terminal environment, and will review a series of lessons learned from the project. We will conclude with some key takeaways and guidelines for others wishing to explore off-site pre-fabrication in their own project delivery process.
