Branching Out: The Design and Construction Innovations Behind Pittsburgh’s New Terminal [CS2] 2025

The new terminal building at Pittsburgh International Airport serves as the marquee project for the $1.1 billion Terminal Modernization Program. Distinguished by its iconic roof design and location above an active transit tunnel, this project required innovative approaches in both design and construction. This presentation will provide an overview of the project, highlighting three key features: the advanced foundation transfer system, the organically shaped roof structure, and its supporting tree columns. This presentation will explore the creative solutions applied throughout both the design and construction phases to bring this ambitious vision to life.
