George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH) International Terminal and FIS Expansion
Page is partnering with the Houston Airport System (HAS) to deliver a comprehensive renovation and expansion of Terminal E and the Federal Inspection Services (FIS) at George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH)—a project that enhances efficiency, capacity, and the international passenger experience.
From the outset, Page’s architects and engineers engaged with HAS Building Services Group (BSG) and the City of Houston Public Works Department, fostering collaboration to streamline project phases, ensure clear documentation, and facilitate expedited reviews and approvals.
Working alongside HOK and construction manager-at-risk Hensel Phelps, Page is bringing high-performance design solutions that optimize international passenger processing, improve operational flow, and support Houston’s growing global gateway.
Our design introduces a new landside processor, the terminal’s primary hub for passenger check-in, baggage drop-off, and security screening before entering the airside. It features consolidated ticketing, an expanded arrivals hall, and an enhanced Security Screening Checkpoint (SSCP). The project also increases curbside and baggage handling capacity while creating new concession opportunities. Modernized FIS and TSA processing functions meet current standards, support future international passenger growth, and enhance efficiency and the overall passenger experience.
Facts on the fly
IAH is one of the nation’s busiest international gateways.
Since the completion of the existing FIS facility in 2005, international passenger volume has more than quadrupled, accompanied by significant advancements in passenger processing methods and technology. To ensure uninterrupted operations, the team is phasing and delivering the renovation and expansion projects in multiple design packages. This approach includes enabling work, phased demolition, and temporary facilities—allowing services to remain fully operational throughout construction.
