The Midfield Satellite Concourse (MSC) South project will soon extend the West Gates at Tom Bradley International Terminal with a southern wing, adding approximately 146,000 square feet and eight gates for narrow body aircraft.
Utilizing a construction technique called Offsite Construction and Relocation (OCR), MSC South was built in nine segments at a location roughly a mile and a half away from the project’s site on the airfield. The segments were carefully delivered in October 2024 and have been assembled in place south of the West Gates. The OCR technique is both innovative and adaptive, saving public funds and time with a high degree of building control and supervision.
Inside MSC South, passengers’ comfort and well-being are of the utmost importance, with the interior feeling more like a domestic space than a traditional airport concourse. MSC South’s brise soleil system will also enable passive cooling and energy conservation. As with all LAWA transformation projects, the team delivering MSC South is comprised of local workers, with more than 30% of the team coming from Los Angeles’ local workforce.
