Tom McCarthy has spent 35 years designing airport terminals — the last four and a half on ours. In this interview, our Chief Planning and Engineering Officer walks through what sets the new CMH terminal apart: a central market concept that’s relatively new to the industry, a deliberate design choice to preserve the short walk from car to gate, and what it felt like to step inside the structure for the first time as it rises.
That work is led day to day by his 11-person CRAA planning and engineering team, backed by hundreds of architects, engineers, construction managers, and construction workers across our partner organizations.
