If you’ve driven past John Glenn Columbus International Airport lately, you’ve likely noticed a massive shift in the skyline. Cranes are raised, engines are humming, and steel supports are officially reaching for the sky. To the south of International Gateway, the new terminal and elevated roadway are taking shape. To the north, we are seeing progress moving on our new parking garage – a cornerstone of CMH Next, our new terminal project.
This isn’t just a place to park your car; this 1.5 million square-foot building is the beginning of a smoother journey for every traveler.
More space, more power
We know that vacation, an overdue weekend getaway, or a work trip all start here, and the beginning of your trip should be stress-free. Once completed, this facility will boast:
- 5,000 parking spaces
- more than 50 new EV chargers to power the future of travel by making it easier than ever to charge your electric vehicle while you’re away
The height of convenience
We are building a seamless passenger walkway that bridges the gap – literally – between the six-story garage, the Rental Car Center, and the terminal itself.
By elevating the walkway over the street and curbside zones, we’re prioritizing your safety. No more navigating busy traffic with luggage; just a straight, protected walk to your gate.
The gateway to a first-class experience
The parking facility and bridge are designed to lead you effortlessly into a terminal experience that feels timeless, fresh, and welcoming. After crossing the new walkway, you’ll get your first taste of the project’s signature design:
- A grand entrance: The bridge leads you directly into a new terminal space defined by soaring high ceilings and an abundance of natural daylight, inspiring a sense of calm.
- Sophisticated finishes: You’ll be greeted by a gray and neutral color palette. The modern backdrop is specifically designed to feature vibrant local artwork that will give visitors a sense of place.
- A unified vision: From the steel currently being bolted into place to the final architectural finishes, every detail is being built to ensure your first impressions of the airport reflects our growing, vibrant community.
We’re building this terminal because it’s time for a new era in Columbus air travel.
