Corgan and Lake | Flato share new San Antonio International Airport terminal renderings

As a gateway to cities, airports should embody the spirit of place in their look and feel. This is what global architecture and engineering firm Corgan and Texas-based Lake | Flato Architects are looking to achieve at the San Antonio airport in Texas. A 900,000-square-foot, 17-gate terminal facility is coming to the airport, a locus which on average has 11 million annual visitors.

John Trupiano, a principal at Corgan, described the new terminal as providing a “distinctive gateway experience for all passengers traveling to and from the San Antonio region.”

Trupiano also said the airport terminal will be “rooted in the vibrant culture and community of San Antonio,” and a project that takes inspiration “from the natural beauty of the Texas Hill Country, the terminal features a landside paseo and a post-security outdoor patio, blending comfort with a sense of place.”

“[The terminal] prioritizes sustainability, enhanced accessibility, and support for military travelers, setting a new standard for inclusivity,” Trupiano added. “By honoring the spirit of San Antonio, this state-of-the-art facility paves the way for a new era of travel.”
