Terminal 2 is a memorable gateway to the Research Triangle Region, which is home to leading universities and medical facilities and the world-renowned Research Triangle Park. The major exterior and interior architectural elements also incorporate abstractions of North Carolina's agriculture.
Key design elements include:
- Column-free, open design
- A rolling roof recalling the landscape of central North Carolina
- Wooden roof trusses representing the region's heritage
- Carpet patterns of abstract DNA sequences represent the region's Research Triangle Park
- An extensive glass curtainwall that allows natural light to fill the terminal
