Designs:
1st Local: Eco-friendly Engineering
The new terminal building is specially respectful of nature and responsive to environmental concerns. Wherever possible, the design architects opted for eco-friendly alternatives and innovative engineering.

Terminal 3's state-of-the-art roof comprises 919 skylights and reflector panels that infuse the building interior with an optimal amount of soft, natural daylight.

$0.65: All Ready for A380
Many infrastructural details were built into Terminal 3 to equip the new terminal for the super jumbo aircraft A380.

Dedicated A380 enhancements include enlarged gate holdrooms, extended baggage belt carousels and aerobridge gates each equipped with a third arm to facilitate boarding and disembarking of passengers from A380's upper and lower cabins.

$1.10: A Refreshing Environment That Breathes With Life
Terminal 3 is an eco-conscious architecture teeming with life, echoing Singapore's tropical Garden City theme.

Spanning 300 metres across the main building, Terminal 3's five-storey high vertical garden, called the "Green Wall" is covered with climbing plants and is interspersed with four cascading waterfalls. In addition, a sculptured sandstone art wall display located below the "Green Wall" offers an artistic treat for arriving passengers waiting for their baggage.

$2.00: Life + Style
Changi Airport has been a favourite among passengers around the world for its efficiency and attention to passenger comfort. Terminal 3 is all geared up to heighten that experience.

An expansive 25,000 square metres of space has been transformed into a dynamic retail and dining zone with more than 100 shops, over 40 F&B
outlets and over 20 service concessions.

Bright, open and airy, Terminal 3 offers the ideal lifestyle features and amenities to help sideline the stresses of modern travelling.
