My educated guess is that once T1 opens, they can demolish A and build a new facility there to continue the growth. Maybe to replace B? Or even C?

Terminal One is expected to be partially open late next year and will have 33 gates with a future expansion to 45 that uses space currently occupied by Terminal A.
Additionally they are going to add a 3000 car garage, replace the monorail (target 2024) and have started examining replacing Terminal B.
The terminal One Plans include lots of room for multiple lounges.
All of this make me think that nothing will be done to the C1 lounge in the immediate future.
Any likely construction there may hang on concrete plans for UA in T1.

If there are any experts who can answer this one, but just for the sake of argument, could they keep the main part of Terminal A and just tear down A1, A2 and A3 (i.e., everything from the security checkpoints on), and rebuild from from scratch from there?

"The new terminal is designed with the option to expand to 45 gates by extending its north wing to run alongside the old Terminal A headhouse, or main building."
Sounds like it is possible that they might chop off the banjos and then connect the (refurbished?) 'historic' headhouse to terminal one then build individual gates out of it.

The best barometer of what they are capable of is wait for the shouting, waving of hands, and dust settle and see what's there.

Construction?
Not that it really matters considering all the bad stuff going on, but does anyone know if construction of the massive new UC is moving forward?
