This was totally unexpected. Obviously I just haven't been paying attention. I flew out of the San Diego airport yesterday and as I was walking through the newly revamped Terminal 2 I realized the design was exceptional. There was light and an organic feel that was just wonderful. I ended up in this atrium waiting for my flight and saw a sign that read "Green Build." Low and behold, they have designed the remodel to LEED standards and are working towards certification. If the rest of it looks like this there is no doubt they will get it.
PS. It has been brought to my attention that there are those of the opinion that building a "Green" airport is an oxymoron. Although I see their point, people aren't going to stop flying until tickets cost 10K a piece. So why not try to green up what we're doing as much as possible?
