A community event space called ST3PS, an indoor garden, and more than 10 new shops and restaurants are available at the upgraded Terminal 3 Basement 2 (T3 B2) this month.
Equipped with an ultra high-definition screen measuring 6 m wide and 3.5 m high, the dedicated atrium space ST3PS is shaped like a stepped amphitheatre that can accommodate over 200 people. In addition to free daily movie screenings, live sports matches and performances are scheduled every weekend. Aspiring artistes and performing arts groups can also showcase their talents to travellers and airport visitors at this atrium space.
Adjacent to the atrium space is a fun art-themed indoor garden, where visitors can look forward to large-scale sculptural installations in the future. The entire atrium and garden covers a floor area of 440 sq m, close to the size of a basketball court, and features over 15 varieties of plants.
“With the redesign, we have opened up this entire area to bring in natural daylight, add greenery with a new themed garden and brighten up T3 B2,”said James Fong, VP for Landside Concessions, Changi Airport Group on ST3PS.
“The new T3 B2 reflects our continuous efforts to create exciting shopping and dining experiences at the public areas of the airport.”
As part of the revamp, Changi Airport has refreshed the current offering of 50 retail, service and food-and-beverage (F&B) stores at T3 B2.
