Pittsburgh International Airport‘s (PIT) new $1.7 billion, 811,000 square-foot landside terminal opened in mid-November, just in time for the busy holiday travel season. The project is designed by the architectural firms Gensler and HDR, in association with luis vidal + architects and also includes upgrades to the airside facilities.
We visited a few months before and then at the end of opening day, when everyone associated with the project was still exhausted and, rightfully, giddy. For most travelers, the highlights of the new terminal are the 12-lane security checkpoint, the faster baggage handling system, the new parking garage and the elimination of the train between the landside and airside terminals. There are also four outdoor patios that will be finished this spring.
