As part of an ongoing effort to improve Oklahoma City’s prospects as a destination site, the 150,000-sq-ft second-phase terminal expansion at Will Rogers World Airport added three structural bays and four new gates off the east concourse. The project, which was designed by FSB Architects + Engineers and HOK, also delivered a new security checkpoint, which consolidates two existing Transportation Security Administration checkpoints and aims to reduce check-in times through smart technology.
The public can also access a new glass-enclosed observation gallery, additional seating in the baggage claim area and space for shopping, dining and concessions. A large, natural light-filled “town square” concept provides additional seating and includes terrazzo artwork that showcases the culture of Oklahoma City. Other new spaces include the Military Welcome Center and additional offices for airport tenants and administration.
