Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, Lounge 2 Renovation

Transforming Lounge 2: Sustainable, Efficient and Passenger-Ready

Schiphol’s Lounge 2 in Terminal 2 was renovated to accommodate updated security processes and enhance passenger flow in the non-Schengen area. The project included redesigning the retail layout, expanding ascent and descent points, and adding 1,500 m2 of space, bringing the total to 10,000 m2 of retail and catering facilities. Deerns provided early-stage technical and financial insights, leveraging over 35 years of collaboration with Schiphol. During the design phase, Deerns led stakeholder discussions and tailored technical installations to meet Schiphol’s preferences, ensuring an efficient and trusted process.
