Hailed as “America's Best Airport,” Portland International Airport (PDX) plans to significantly increase capacity over the next two decades to accommodate 35 million passengers annually. The ZGF-designed main terminal expansion doubles the capacity while inviting passengers and employees alike to celebrate the beauty of the Pacific Northwest. Upon entering the new terminal core, visitors are invited to take a walk in the forest. Views to the airfield, daylight, interior landscape, and art recalling the region’s natural beauty are present throughout the passenger journey.
Watch this behind-the-scenes video of this spectacular airport design and how the project team kept sustainability and the human connection to nature at the forefront of their decision-making.
