Pittsburgh International Airport’s opened its new $1.7 billion, 811,000 square-foot landside terminal to the public on Tuesday, 18 November, just in time for the beginning of the holiday travel season. Designed by the architectural firms Gensler and HDR, in association with luis vidal + architects, the project also features upgrades to the airside facilities.
Highlights of the new terminal include a high-tech 12-lane security checkpoint, a streamlined baggage handling system, terrazzo flooring and a light-filled main hall with 38 steel, tree-shaped columns supporting a soaring, undulating wood ceiling dotted with 4,000 twinkling lights. The new terminal also includes four landscaped outdoor terraces (two pre-security; two post-security), updated signage, a new parking garage and the removal of the automated people mover that moved passengers between the landside and airside terminals.
