Architecture & Sustainability

The New PDX Main Terminal: 9-Acre Mass Timber Canopy

Opened in August 2024 as part of the visionary 2.15 billion dollar PDX Next redevelopment, Portland International Airport's new main terminal sets the global benchmark for biophilic airport architecture, mass timber engineering, and regional sustainability.

Regional Forestry Heritage

Locally Sourced Mass Timber Roof

The terminal is sheltered by a magnificent 9-acre curved wooden roof constructed from 3.5 million board feet of Douglas fir. 100 percent of the timber was sourced within a 300 mile radius of the airport from small family tree farms, Native American tribal lands including the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde, and certified sustainable community forests.

Supported by 34 Y shaped structural steel columns, the sweeping lattice ceiling features 49 large skylights that flood the check in lobby and post security market with natural Pacific Northwest sunlight, reducing artificial lighting energy consumption by over 50 percent.

Biophilic Passenger Comfort

Living Forest & Pedestrian Tree Canopy

Stepping inside PDX feels like entering a temperate Pacific Northwest forest. The terminal integrates over 70 living trees, including black tupelo and weeping figs, accompanied by 5,000 regional ferns, mosses, and flowering plants carefully acclimated to indoor light conditions.

Cafe seating, stadium steps, and gathering plazas replicate Oregon town squares. Wide boardwalks paved with regionally harvested white oak flank the iconic geometric PDX teal carpet, offering an unmistakably authentic sense of place that consistently ranks PDX as America's favorite airport.

Operational Efficiency

Unified Security & Concourse Flow

The expanded terminal unites North and South checkpoints into two expansive security screening halls equipped with computed tomography 3D baggage scanners and automated screening lanes.

Post security pedestrian connectors allow travelers to walk freely between Concourses B, C, D, and E without re clearing security, ensuring effortless access to all airport concessions, airline lounges, and gate areas.
