LAG Terrminal B - Shorter than the Day - GOR-190635-cE20

Shorter than the Day Art Work Powder coated aluminum and steel. Located in the Arrivals & Departures Hall, this monumental sculpture by artist Sarah Sze evokes the passage of time through an intricate constellation of photographs. Hundreds of images form a mirage-like sphere that appears to float in midair.

Each photograph captures a snapshot of the sky above New York City taken over the course of one day. Collectively, they chart a cyclical journey from the pale yellow of dawn to the bright blues of daylight, through sunset’s dusky orange, and midnight’s violet.

The LaGuardia Terminal B project opened June 13, 2020 Arrivals and Departures Hall is an immense 850,000 square feet and includes four levels for passengers. The design incorporates soaring ceilings and an abundance of natural light, creating a comfortable and welcoming ambience for passengers.

The redevelopment includes a new 35-gate terminal, a Central Hall, a parking garage, related roadways and supporting infrastructure – all with innovative construction phasing, including building over top of the current operation, that has allowed the original terminal to remain fully functional while the new is built.
