The flexible, sustainable, and technologically sophisticated design of the International Terminal Complex further strengthens IAH’s prestigious standing
Gilbane and its partner, Austin Commercial, delivered the new Mickey Leland International Terminal (MLIT) project at George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH).
