Pittsburgh International Airport (PIT) is progressing work on its new terminal, which is set to open in 2025.
This new facility aims to enhance the airport experience by focusing on three core principles: Nature, Technology, and Community (NaTeCo).
The terminal will deliver more open spaces, fewer logjams, calming art and modern features. It will span across three levels with a commercial curb on the first floor, arrivals on the second floor and departures on the third.
Throughout the facility, specific design choices will align with the NaTeCo theme. This will include four outdoor terraces, tree columns and leaf designs in the flooring, and 4,000 constellation lights on the ceiling.
By creating a sense of space with nature, the airport aims to offer an escape from the hustle and bustle of travel.
Paslay Group architect Rick Lee, implementation manager on the project and one of its lead designers said:The keys to designing the new terminal at PIT were open volumes and intuitive wayfinding for passengers. It’s open, it’s airy, it’s intuitive, because you can see everything you need to see.
The new terminal will reintroduce people to Pittsburgh. It will reintroduce Pittsburgh not only to the U.S. but to the world. It will rebrand Pittsburgh.
This new terminal will open along with a 5,000-space parking structure and roadway system.
