At the FFG event last year at IAD I had a chance to talk with Omar, the station manager for IAD.
He mentioned the IAD PL lounge was new construction
BUT was being built to accommodate the eventual rebuild of C/D. That is to say, when they do eventually tear down the "temporary" C/D complex (hallelujah!) they will
NOT need to demo the new PL lounge as it was built to work with the proposed rebuild.
No idea if this is still the plan but putting it out there FWIW.
