LaGuardia Airport Terminal B
Water Feature
The Terminal B Water Feature is a one-of-a-kind installation in the Americas and the only of its kind globally in an airport.
The feature circulates 4,000 gallons of water, cascading from two rings to form a mesmerizing water curtain. 450 nozzles control the water flow to shape intricate patterns as it falls.
Three projectors wrap the water in dynamic content, with video, lighting, and audio synchronized to deliver unique, captivating shows for travelers throughout the day.

Our Process
From Strasbourg, France to New York City
Evoke supported the project from concept to completion over a three-year period, including two trips to Strasbourg, France, to test full-scale mock-ups before installing the water feature at New York City’s LaGuardia Airport.
We developed 14 fully designed shows, incorporating custom-rendered and projection-mapped video content, along with a video system to technically support these dynamic presentations.
