Architecture company RMJM has won a contract to design the £262m third segment of the United Terminal at Domodedovo Airport in Moscow, Russia.

The new 254,000m2 terminal, which will double the airport’s size, will enhance capacity by 16.5m passengers when it opens in 2017.

RMJM’s Edinburgh and Moscow studios will handle the project, and the firm is planning to hire 20 extra staff to carry out design work in the coming 18 months.
