The new design of T2 is a tribute to the Garden city of Bengaluru. Passenger will experience a “walk in the garden” feel when they enter the new terminal. The design of Terminal 2 will reflect Garden city feel as passengers will travel through more than 10,000 square metres of green walls, hanging gardens and outdoor gardens. These gardens have been made in India using indigenous technology.
The airport has already established a benchmark in sustainability with 100 per cent usage of renewable energy across the campus. Terminal 2 has been created with sustainability principles woven into the design.
