OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The Oasis restaurants offer guests a first rate technology experience with iPads equipped with OTG’s award-winning customer experience platform, flo. Each tablet offers a visual menu along with entertainment options and flight information. Customers can also purchase magazines, gifts and other sundries that are delivered to their table as they dine — and even pay for them through the United MileagePlus program.

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: Six long corridors that contained moving walkways have been repurposed to create oasis areas that feature world class food and beverage offerings. Each oasis space has a different restaurant or bar and is approximately 10ft wide x 150ft long. Going beyond simple structural solutions, we created a unique sense of place, even commissioning renowned artists to create site-specific pieces that were implemented into the structure.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: Several pieces of research were looked at when designing and constructing the Oasis, including the overall layout of the terminal, traffic flow, local food influences, space dimensions, materials and labor. Each oasis has been quite successful from a visual, media and sales revenue perspective.
CHALLENGE: The main challenge of this project was space. The corridors were long and narrow and a great deal of thought was given to look, feel and guest interaction.
