Ft. Lauderdale, Flordia is now the cruis capitol of North America. If you are going to take a cruise, Ft. Lauderdale will be the most likely place that you will depart on your voyage. Becaue of the increase in demand for cruises many new ships and terminals are being developed.

Port Everglades cmae up with a creative idea of how to incread the number of passenger terminals without constructing a new structure. They decided to take a baggage terminal. One of the main challenged faced by changing the function of the building was the terminal did not have air conditioning, insulation or sound control. The noise level and high temperatures would not be suitable for cruise passengers. The project also had to be comlpeted in an accelerated construction schedule mandated by the owner to meet the schedule of upcoming cruises.

The architect decided to have three inches of white K-13 applied to the ceiling. The noise level was significantly reduced to the sound absorbing qualities of K-13. Air conditioners were installed to cool the building and K-13 insulation will reduce the operating expenses. The contractor was also able to complete the project ahead of schedule, because of the ease and speed of installing of the spray applied K-13. K-13's aesthetic texture added a touch of class and luxury to the structure. Port Everglades Cruise Terminal was now ready to serce, pamper, and exceed all of their passenger's expectations.
