Terminal A Redevelopment at Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR)

From 2012 through 2016, PGAL served as Prime Consultant and Lead Architect for the advanced planning, concept development, and bridging documents. In 2016, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey selected a design-build team led by Tutor Perini Parsons to deliver final design and construction, with PGAL as Executive Architect ensuring compliance with established performance and design criteria.

The “T” shaped terminal provides 33 domestic gates with common-use technology that supports curbside and lobby check-in, self-service kiosks, and premium passenger options. Security screening is designed for flexibility, offering an expandable checkpoint with dedicated lanes for premium travelers, airline crew, and guests requiring additional assistance. Infrastructure is adaptable to evolving screening and processing needs.

Passenger services are integrated throughout the terminal. Baggage claim includes six units with direct connections to airline offices and operations, while retail, dining, and food and beverage offerings are woven into holdroom seating areas. Gate holdrooms accommodate both narrow- and wide-body aircraft, with self-boarding equipment at every gate. Airline lounges are conveniently located just beyond security, and baggage handling is streamlined with consolidated screening and ramp operations support.
