The new terminal building was located on the opposite side of the site to the existing terminal at Elmdon. It was built using a structural steel frame around a central well, with precast floor and roof units, and was clad in glassfibre reinforced concrete. The three-storey building had a floor area of 16,000 sq metres. It was later known as Terminal 1
