The Historic ATC Tower:
- Height Ascension: Standing tall at 325 feet, the old ATC tower witnessed decades of aviation milestones. Although no longer in use, its memory lives on. Our model invites you to cherish its history.
- Sweeping Views: Imagine the controllers inside—their eyes scanning the Terminal 2 ramp, guiding planes, vehicles, and people as they move along the taxiways. The ATC tower is the heartbeat of RDU’s operations.
-
Terminal 2: A Modern Gateway:
- Architectural Vision: Designed by North Carolina native Curtis Fentress, Terminal 2 features a column-free design that guides passengers seamlessly from airline check-in to their gates. It departs from traditional ticketing counters, creating islands that encourage easy movement.
- Wood Lenticular Trusses: Inside, dramatic wood lenticular trusses arch overhead—an homage to the region’s indigenous furniture and craft industries. These trusses create a long-span structure, maximizing flexibility for the future.
