Passengers and visitors traveling to and through Terminal 1’s pre-security areas at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport (MSP) have witnessed a major transformation over the last decade. The result: MSP’s ticketing and arrival lobbies have taken a multi-generational leap from their 1960s-era design and infrastructure to modern tech-advanced travel processes that fit with the more spacious, accessible and welcoming spaces.
The Metropolitan Airports Commission (MAC), owner and operator of MSP, has substantially completed its $600 million Operational Improvements Program that has transformed the public-side of the terminal.
Over the course of 20 distinct projects, the entire terminal footprint was expanded 16 feet toward the road in front of Terminal 1, security screening was consolidated into two larger and more efficient checkpoints, larger baggage carousels were installed, and practically every building system was updated in sync with refreshed design elements along every passenger touchpoint.
