Phase II is set to begin soon and will follow a similar pattern. What you get, eventually, is state-of-the-art architecture, thanks to star architect Hafeez Contractor and Unity Infraprojects.
There's kalzip roofing (a rainscreen system), along with a glazed facade in keeping with the building's status as an international point of entry. Environmentalists will also be pleased, what with the building being more energy-efficient, and the use of a skylight to avoid artificial lighting by day.
And what does an airport makeover cost? The first phase required Rs 350 million or Rs 35 crore. The total project is set to touch Rs 830 million or Rs 83 crore.
