The Pittsburgh International Airport is inviting the public to an open house for the long awaited new terminal.

The $1.7 billion modernization project began in 2019 and is offering a first look at the terminal’s updated features on Oct. 11 from noon to 7 p.m.

“We’ve said from the beginning that this new state-of-the-art terminal is built for Pittsburgh, by Pittsburgh and we are excited to open the doors to the public to tour,” Allegheny County Airport Authority CEO Christina Cassotis said in a news release.

The open house follows Pittsburgh International Airport’s “public trial” on Sept. 20, where over 2,000 members of the public are expected test the new terminal’s systems, as well as the Oct. 3 gala for partners and organizations involved in building the project.

The new terminal brings improved parking with eco-friendly snow melt systems and EV charging stations, a new space-finder system for parking and quicker terminal access for rental cars, high-contrast signage and reduced walking distances, electronic check-in displays and accessible ticketing counters located on the same level as security and 12 security lanes and new screening equipment. TSA PreCheck and non-PreCheck passengers are also expected to share a unified terminal, as reported by TribLive.

While at the open house attendees can expect a variety of activities for all ages through Pittsburgh International Airport’s community partners: the Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh, Kamin Science Center, Tree Pittsburgh and the Airports Authority’s xBridge program, which offers educational activities.

Registration for a time slot is required to attend and will open next week.
