SAN ANTONIO, Texas — The construction of a new terminal and upgrade of facilities at the San Antonio International Airport is now underway, with the terminal expected to open by 2028.

The new terminal is slated to span 800,000 square feet and is designed to integrate seamlessly with the existing Terminals A and B.

Designed by the architectural firm Corgan, the terminal will include three levels and provide space for 18 gates.

The development emphasizes incorporating local cultural elements and artwork, offering travelers a visually enriching experience. The design will feature a mix of deep colors and tones on the first level, transitioning to more airy and light-filled spaces on higher levels.

The terminal development is part of a broader $2.5 billion strategic development plan approved by the San Antonio City Council in November 2021.

The project aims to enhance the airport’s capacity and services to accommodate growing passenger numbers and future demands.

The project is undertaken by Colorado-based construction firm Hensel Phelps, selected for its expertise in large-scale infrastructure projects.

Alongside the terminal, the airport’s infrastructure will see several improvements, including an expanded central utility plant, new parking structures, and enhancements to the ground transportation center and runway system.

The construction of the new terminal comes amidst ongoing legal disputes between the City of San Antonio and Southwest Airlines over gate assignments.

The project has faced some pushback from historic preservation groups and local residents concerned about the demolition of existing structures at the airport.

One notable building, the mid-century modern-designed Building 1322, is slated for demolition to make way for airport expansion. The building, known for its distinctive architectural style, was once used for transportation-related services for private aircraft.

Despite efforts to explore alternative solutions, including relocating or incorporating the building into the new design, officials determined these options were not feasible due to structural and financial constraints.

The San Antonio Historic and Design Review Commission has approved the demolition, with the condition that elements of the historic building, such as its unique columns and roof design, be integrated into the new terminal’s pedestrian walkway.

The airport’s Deputy Aviation Director Tim O’Krongley emphasized the importance of balancing historical preservation with the need for modern facilities to support future growth. While demolition was not the first choice, he noted that mitigation measures are in place to document and preserve the building’s legacy.
