Pittsburgh International Airport Opens $1.7B Landside Terminal

The Terminal Modernization Program is complete at Pittsburgh International Airport in Findlay Township, Allegheny County. The three-story, 811,000-square-foot landside terminal opened November 18, 2025. The Allegheny County Airport Authority developed the project, designed by Gensler and HDR in association with luis vidal + architects.

Construction broke ground October 14, 2021 and reached substantial completion in October 2025. The $1.7 billion project used no local or state taxpayer dollars. A joint venture of PJ Dick, Hunt Construction Group and Turner Construction built the terminal, with Jacobs as program manager.

The project includes a 1.1 million-square-foot parking structure and more than 6,000 additional parking spaces, nearly four miles of new roadway and a 1,300-foot bridge to the airside complex. Amenities include four outdoor terraces, a Welcome Point waiting area, an expanded security checkpoint, accessible restrooms, nursing rooms and a sensory room.

The terminal targets LEED Gold certification and runs on an industry-first on-site solar and natural gas microgrid. More than 90 percent of materials and labor came from the region. The program created 14,300 jobs and $2.5 billion in economic activity.
