Airport gets makeover for capital of culture year
24.08.07
Liverpool Airport is to get a makeover by design company Broome Jenkins to celebrate the city's reign as European Capital of Culture next year. It will see illustrator John McFaul create a 300m-long mural for the terminal, column wraps for the baggage reclaim area and wraps for the 7 buses that take passengers between planes and terminal.
The mural features images of Liverpool, Chester, Manchester, Blackpool and the Lake District, creating 'a flowing story and journey through the North West', a spokesman for Broome Jenkins said.
In addition to the mural, plasma screens on board the shuttle busses will show 'welcome' videos featuring film footage of the mural. The company has also designed lounge areas with tables, carpet tiles and wall decorations that feature the Liverpool 2008 logo.
The spokesman noted that: 'All of the logos will be removable, so the airport will not have to be 'undressed' at the end of 2008.' The mural, which will be completed in September and officially unveiled on November 14, does not contain any reference to the capital of culture year and will have a lifespan of about ten years.
