The construction of the new Dock A will be carried out during ongoing operations. Although the old Dock A will not be dismantled until the new Dock is operational, important infrastructure will still be lost during the construction phase. To accommodate this infrastructure and ensure smooth operations, a temporary modular building will be constructed on the south side of Dock B.

The five-storey building can take on different functions at different times. For example, the modular building will initially provide space temporary bus gates and lounges as well as for the logistics of the Airside Centre.

The modular building is the first structure to be built in preparation for the replacement of Dock A. Construction is scheduled to start on 2 September 2024, with commissioning expected by 2027.
