Severud Associates worked with the project team to design and stage one of the largest terminals built by a single airline. Exposed tri-chord trusses give the main roof a distinctive appearance and improve efficiency via arch action, resulting in reduced steel tonnage. Other structural features include multi-story steel and glass walls and a tunnel to a remote concourse.
