A look at BNA's new lobby

• The upgraded 200,000-square-foot area will restore central access to both ends of the terminal, which had been separated during construction.
• It will include 24 security lanes (up from 10), new restaurants and shops and towering artwork.

Zoom out: The new lobby is part of a massive renovation effort that includes more than $2 billion in airport upgrades to accommodate the growing region.

What they're saying: Airport president and CEO Doug Kreulen said the new lobby "dramatically changes the look, feel, and energy of the airport."

• "It will be clear as soon as you step foot into BNA that Nashville is home to a world-class airport."
