The 1-million-sq-ft, 33-gate T-shaped terminal is punctuated by an arrivals and departures hall with floor-to-ceiling windows and a large common-use check-in area. A sloping ceiling created by 150-ft-long roof spans allows natural light to enter through diamond-shaped skylights. The terminal also boasts the country’s first fully automatic security checkpoint, with innovative sensor technology to cut wait times. Public art installations showcase more than two dozen local artists whose work highlights the state.

Adverse weather conditions and the COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted the project timeline due to labor shortages and construction material supply chain disruptions. The project team says it adapted swiftly, adjusting the construction schedule and implementing strict safety protocols to ensure continuity of construction without delaying the project schedule.
