Episode Description

The largest public works project in Oregon history is coming to completion. After four years of construction and a little more than $2 billion, the PDX airport’s new terminal is open to the public. The main terminal remodel features skylights made of local Douglas fir, the return of the beloved original carpet and a 120-foot-long video wall that serves as a 24-hour art installation.  This opening is just one phase with more to come in December 2025. Curtis Robinhold is the executive director of the Port of Portland. He gave us a sneak peak of the terminal in late July to share the thinking behind the architecture, the indoor tree garden and more.
