Terminal 5 (T5) is the largest freestanding building in the UK at 396m long, 176m wide and 40m high. There are actually four floors all covered in curved steel framing and a glass roof – the size of five football fields, designed to let light stream into the interior. The roof weighs 2,200 tons and is supported by thin columns all around it, creating a neat meeting space free of pillars or abutments. This flexible space allows a freestanding steel frame structure to be placed within the arrivals and departures area which can be moved or reconfigured as requirements change.
