On Thursday Oct. 15, passengers and their families will be able to visit a temporary sensory space on Terminal 1’s mezzanine level. The space will offer a calming environment to help reduce the stress and sensory overload that can accompany air travel. 

Representatives from Fraser ─ a local nonprofit provider of autism, mental/behavioral health and disability care ─ will have tables at each end of the Airport Mall in Terminal 1 to offer support or directions to the sensory room. 

Permanent sensory rooms are planned to open in the next two years as part of the Terminal 2 north expansion and the Terminal 1 Concourse G expansion projects. (See photos below.)
