Designed for efficiency, improved circulation, and future expansion, the new Grand Forks International Terminal offers a comfortable traveling environment within a “Wow Factor” showpiece for the State. The two-level terminal provides two gates capable of boarding aircraft from the Saab SF340A to the Boeing B757-300 through a passenger bridge with access to all planes, including commuter flights. Materials, including stone, metal panels, concrete masonry units, and glass curtain wall, were selected to fit the landscape, as well as evoke the concepts of flight. One of the most unique feature of the Terminal, however, has nothing to do with airplanes. The Red River Valley Grill and Market is the nation’s first restaurant offering hand-to-hand service for both customers who have gone through security and for those who haven’t. The restaurant is accessed on both sides through a central kitchen, and all employees are required to receive security clearance in order to work there.
