And from yesterday's Telegraph letters page (I wonder how they're feeling now?):

T5 engineering inspiration

Sir - Heathrow Terminal 5 opens to the public today: a triumph of modern engineering. With five levels, the size of 10 football pitches, it is the largest freestanding building in Britain.

Catering for up to 35 million passengers a year, it provides a crucial part of the transport infrastructure required to grow the British economy.

Part of the building's innovative technology is a rainwater-harvesting system that reuses up to 85 per cent of the rain that falls on site.

This project not only demonstrates the vital role that engineering and technology play in supporting our society, but it will also inspire a whole new generation to pursue careers in engineering.
