The PHL USO Lounge within the Philadelphia (PHL) Airport is United Service Organizations’ newest airport lounge to date at slightly over 2,500 SF. It is located within Terminal E of the Philadelphia (PHL) Airport and provides services for the men and women that have served or that are currently serving for all branches of the United States military and their families. The lounge provides a grab and go style food service, with the food coming from generous Philadelphia area company donations, kids room, gaming room, and lounge areas.
The lounge greets you with glass sliding doors with custom USO brand glazing graphics and features a decorative wall within the reception with the iconic image of the Philadelphia Liberty Bell inlayed within a custom millwork wall along with an area for the service men and women’s challenge coins to be on display. The finishes selected for the construction include clean and calming white, black and wood tones and the furniture and carpet feature colors that resemble camouflage, which pay homage to the service men and women of the armed forces and create an atmosphere of acknowledgement and admiration for all that enter.
