Unlike the battle over Pennsylvania Station, which reached a climax in 1962 just as the T.W.A. Flight Center opened, there is no proposal on the table to demolish the structure, at least not the main building, now designated Terminal 5, with its spread-eagle concrete roof and tubular corridors.
Its early mandate was simple if Sisyphean: to compile, using a hulking I.B.M. mainframe computer, a collective database of holdings that could be used at specially designated terminals in museums, universities and libraries.
If this is true, then a good case can be made for designating Terminal City as a historic district.
They call him once a week at a designated time.
You only get medals if you are able to show the fruits of those labors at a designated place, at a designated time, and in a designated manner.
Instead of waiting, you show up at a designated time.
All tools are freely available at a designated web site.
Wait for the bus at a designated bus stop.
Meals of varying quality and subject to frequent complaints were provided at designated times in a designated area.
Commands to U-boot to initiate the transfer and to trigger FPGA reconfiguration from a designated region are entered by the user through a serial link terminal program.
In fact, when the dust clears, only one building may remain from the original Terminal City complex at what was once Idlewild: Eero Saarinen's T.W.A. Flight Center of 1962, now called Terminal 5. Were it not an internationally renowned architectural icon and a designated landmark, there is little doubt that Terminal 5 -- woefully small and outdated -- would have been swept away, too.
