A terminal expansion launched in 2024 is slated to wrap up next year

Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport’s Terminal 2 marks its 25th anniversary this year, but its bigger year is 2027: That’s when work on an expansion is due to be completed by the Metropolitan Airports Commission and various partners.

The $263 million project will add 165,000 square feet to the north end of Terminal 2 for two new airline gates, two relocated and expanded gates, concession spaces, a restroom suite and support facilities for airlines and tenants.

Here are five of the most prominent features in the terminal expansion:

  1. Sensory Room
  2. Bathroom Suites - The expansion will include a men’s room and a women’s room along with a bank of six single-user rooms for use by people of any gender.
  3. Concessions - The expansion will include a Caribou café and a Lucky 13 bar along with a books, news and gifts outlet.
  4. Green roof
  5. Timber ceiling...
