SFO's Terminal 3 West Expansion Opens
Turner broke ground on 5 September 2024 on the $2.6 billion modernization of SFO's Terminal 3: a 200,000-square-foot expansion, 650,000 square feet of renovation and a new six-story building holding airline lounges and operational offices. The eastern addition follows in 2029.
- "The expansion portion of the project is scheduled to open in the fall of 2027, with the eastern addition side of Terminal 3 opening in 2029" - the two dates the pin carries[1]
- Turner, with design-build partners Gensler and TEF, announced the groundbreaking of the Terminal 3 West Modernization project at San Francisco International Airport and will lead the $2.6 billion transformation of the terminal, "which will result in a modern, world-class facility"[1]
- Scope: a 200,000 square foot expansion of Terminal 3, 650,000 square feet of renovation, and a new six-story building housing airline lounges and operational office space[1]
- Also in scope: expanded concessions, enhanced security features, a redesigned check-in area, improved baggage handling, more intuitive wayfinding and advanced technology systems to streamline operations and passenger flow[1]
- Turner built temporary prefabricated corridors to reroute passengers around the construction zone in a "one and done" move planned to avoid repeated relocations: the 1,000-foot West Corridor and 400-foot East Corridor were fabricated as 11 modules at a nearby air cargo yard and transported across the airfield over 11 consecutive nights[1]
- The terminal will use energy-efficient systems, water-saving fixtures and materials from sustainable suppliers, and the project aims for LEED Platinum certification[1]
- Turner Construction Executive Tina Smith called it "a significant investment in the future of air travel but also in our commitment to building sustainably", aiming for a terminal that "serves as a model for environmental stewardship in the aviation industry"[1]
- The page does not date the groundbreaking itself, so the pin's 5 September 2024 date for it is not corroborated here[1]
