With the demand for their shipping services both to and from China on the rise, FedEx Express needed a more robust infrastructure to handle increased volumes. FedEx engaged our team to provide master planning, programming, facility planning, and conceptual and schematic design services for a new cargo complex at the Pudong International Airport.
The campus includes an entry building, sort facility, generator / switchgear, GSE facility, heavy weight canopy, and two security guardhouses. Focused on sustainable elements, the sort facility and entry building have an extensive green roof system to reduce the heat island effect and provide insulation.
We integrated daylight louvers into the southernmost facades to maximize incoming light without incurring heat loss. We also selected regionally available building materials that had recycled content to reduce the energy embodied in the completed project.
