Located in the departure area near Gates 1 and 2, the facility is available free of charge to travelers of all ages. The space features reduced noise levels, comfortable ergonomic seating, sensory panels, a tactile exploration area, and a low-visual-stimulation environment with specially designed audiovisual content aimed at creating a calm and relaxing atmosphere.
The project was developed in partnership with Mondo, an architecture firm specializing in environments designed with and for neurodivergent individuals, with additional support from accessibility experts. To ensure easy access, the airport has implemented clear wayfinding throughout the terminal. Use of the Sensory Calm Space requires advance booking through the Aeropuertos Uruguay website, allowing the airport to manage occupancy and maintain a suitable environment for passengers seeking reduced sensory stimulation.
