New PDX (PDXNext) Main Terminal Design
Looking forward to when travel is normal again... The Port of Portland released renderings of the new main terminal that is scheduled to open in 2025.

A few new photos here, although still no rendering of a future expanded lounge.

"It'll be the Instagram moment," says Lia Peacock, designer at ZGF [the architect], with a laugh. In other words, the vibe of the space will probably draw our attention away from those customary shoe selfies. (Don't worry: The airport will still have plenty of carpet, along with other flooring materials better suited to certain new spaces.) There's a Pacific Northwest wow factor to the main terminal designs that Lia hopes travelers experience when they pass through it for the first time. She calls it an "immersive forest experience," which sounds like our kind of thing.
No one (sane) visits a city because it has a pretty airport.

Sane people choose a connecting airport because it it "pretty" (i.e., good amenities, easy to navigate, etc.)

Maybe all the greenery is a place for the homeless to setup tents.... you know, so you can get the Portland experience without even leaving the airport.

When will the connector between the two sides reopen? I liked the entire airside section being connected after security.

I'm pretty sure I heard that won't be coming back. It was definitely a nice setup in the past. I'd regularly go through security on the D/E side and circle back to my B/C gate and save lots of time.
