Facts about the building:

• Terminal 5, which opened on March 27, 2008, was designed by Rogers, Stirk, Harbour & Partners
• The building is so vast it is possible to fit 50 football pitches over Terminal 5’s five floors
• The building itself is light, airy and modern - more than 30,000 square metres of glass was used to glaze the 40m high and the 396m long main terminal building
• There is more than 18km of belts and tracks to move the bags around the terminal
• Terminal 5 consists of a main terminal building (T5A) and two satellite buildings (T5B and T5C) linked by an underground track transit system. T5A and T5B opened in March 2008, while T5C opened in May 2010
• The system can travel 6,500 customers per hour at a speed of 30 miles per hour. The journey time is just 45 seconds to T5B and just under 90 seconds to T5C
• 85 per cent of waste on the project was recovered and materials have been recycled and re-used throughout the building process
• Waste heat from an existing combined heat and power plant is being piped to the Terminal 5 energy centre to provide the building with 85 per cent of its heat on demand. This saves around 11,000 tonnes of CO2 per year 
• Energy efficient fittings are found throughout the terminal building and only centrally chilled water is used to cool the building, limiting the need for individually chilled air conditioning units and refrigerators throughout the building
• Water from Terminal 5’s rainwater harvesting and groundwater boreholes is being used reducing the demand on the public water supply by 70 per cent. The harvesting scheme re-uses up to 85 per cent of the rainfall that falls on the terminal’s campus
