In the airport where I work, the public areas are all tall ceilings 40 to 60 foot. I see lots of posts talking about baggage, etc. At my airport at least, that's all underground... As far down as the ceilings are high. We have several sublevels, including a dedicated level just for baggage handling, and another just for utilities, etc.
