It's a party! Architecture and design firm Gensler is celebrating the opening of the first six gates of the Terminal B Concourse at the Mineta San Jose International Airport that opened today. The 380,000 square foot, $342 million concourse is the first portion of the airport's extensive $1.3 billion modernization program, according to a press release. "In the Terminal B Concourse, we wanted to express the region's leadership in technology and innovation, and also establish a signature identity for the airport and the city of San Jose," said Steve Weindel, a principal at Gensler and project designer. "The indoor-outdoor architecture captures the San Jose lifestyle, and will give travelers a tangible sense of the region, even while they're inside the airport." The terminal is fixin' to meet the U.S. Building Council's LEED certification standards. Pretty nifty.
