The LAX Security Enhancement Program - Draft Implementation Plan (DIP) recommended a Proto-Typical facility to screen employees and vehicles entering the AOA Airfield Operations Area (AOA).

LAWA subsequently requested further refinement of this concept towards next stages of implementation. The study areas included:
• Time-Motion Studies, including queing, throughput and conflict analyses.
• Site Massing Studies, providing visualization of each SAAP situation.
• Morphology and Optimization of each configuration for even flows at peak demand.
• Establishing Landscaping & Lighting within space and budget.
• Sourcing of both Airport Master Plan and Master Plan EIR/EIS will be sourced for demand estimates and SAAP siting. Screening facility spatial requirements were developed, and general terminal planning parameters applied to estimate number of screening lanes to accomodate peak flows.

JGM worked closely with LAWA developing multiple conceptual approaches satisfying their functional needs. Once basic elements enabling TSA compliant screening were established, variations were developed for:
• Employee Entry
• Large Vehicle Entry
• Low volume gate access
