Today the International Terminal turns 20! Officially opened to the public #onthisday in 2000, the International Terminal, along with Rental Car Center, the BART extension and station, and AirTrain, was the largest public works project in Northern California at that time. Leading the Joint Venture Architects group, Skidmore, Owings & Merrill envisioned the International Terminal to be a signature structure at SFO. With 24 gates and 2.5 million square feet, it doubled the overall square footage of SFO’s passenger terminals. What are your favorite memories of our International Terminal?
