Schiphol and BAM Build New Parking Garage at P3

Schiphol and BAM are constructing a new parking garage at the P3 long-stay car park. This will add more than 4,000 sheltered parking spaces to the largest parking facility in the Netherlands. Travellers will be able to park their cars in the new garage from mid-2027. The addition will contribute to the passenger experience and improve accessibility to the airport.

With this new parking garage at P3 we offer travellers not only more than 4,000 additional sheltered parking spaces, but also more ease and a smooth start to their journey. The new garage is being built next to the existing P3 parking garage and bus stop. Travellers can park their car in the covered garage and walk straight to the free electric shuttle bus that runs every ten minutes and takes them to the terminal in five minutes.

The P3 long-stay car park will soon have space for approximately 18,000 cars, about half of which will be covered. There are currently 5,000 sheltered parking spaces in the two existing car parks, and the new parking garage will add more than 4,000 sheltered spaces. The garage will have six parking levels. By building upwards in the same location, Schiphol is making the most efficient use of the space available.", Dieme Ketel, Head of Parking & Mobility Services. 

Improved accessibility and parking capacity

Schiphol is looking ahead to the future with its new parking garage. The airport expects a further increase in the number of travellers, partly due to the use of new, larger aircraft. This will also increase the demand for parking spaces at Schiphol. With this new parking garage, Schiphol will ensure sufficient parking for travellers and that the airport remains easily accessible.

Sustainability at the heart of design and construction

An integrated approach and sustainability are at the heart of the design, materials used, and construction. The new parking garage will have a wooden façade and an energy-positive roof with over 9,000 solar panels. Low-carbon concrete will be used, as well as recycled materials where possible. Construction will be carried out producing as little emissions as possbile, partly through the use of electrical equipment, including electric pile drivers and cranes. BAM's design has also taken into account the efficient maintenance of the car park after completion.

"Sustainable construction is an important part of our strategy, and we put it into practice by, among other things, using electrical equipment and sustainable materials. We incorporated these choices in both the design and construction of the new parking garage at Schiphol from the outset. That requires a different way of working together and organising, but shows that more sustainable construction is already feasible today, especially when done in close collaboration with partners like Schiphol," Eric Moleman, Managing Director BAM Bouw en Techniek.

Schiphol is building the airport of the future

The new parking garage is part of a broader investment programme to improve the airport. Schiphol aims to return to the top three European hub airports by delivering quality to travellers, employees and airlines and by maintaining a balance with the environment and society. The new capacity at the P3 long-stay car park contributes to more parking options for travellers and better accessibility.
