North Terminal Expansion and TSA Relocation

Supporting continued growth at Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport, the North Terminal Expansion and TSA Relocation is being delivered through a joint venture team with architectural design services by Fitzgerald Gray Hagan Architects. The two-story terminal addition is located north of the existing terminal and is designed to enhance passenger processing capacity, operational efficiency, and overall travel experience. The expansion includes 3 new gates, expanded check-in counters, enlarged holding rooms, and improved seating and circulation areas to support long-term growth.

The program also introduces a modernized baggage handling system with a new baggage claim area featuring four carousels and six airline baggage service offices, along with dedicated TSA queuing and screening support spaces. Passenger amenities are significantly enhanced with expanded restrooms, concessions, pet relief areas, and a quiet room for travelers. Additional scope includes a vertical circulation core with stairs, escalators, and elevators, as well as support spaces for airport operations. A service animal relief area and public observation deck further enrich the passenger experience. The design delivers a more efficient, comfortable, and resilient terminal environment that supports the airport’s ongoing role as a key regional transportation hub.
