(Pittsburgh, PA) A new push is underway to convert the old terminal building at the Pittsburgh International Airport into a film studio. The old terminal was shuttered last fall as the airport opened its new landside terminal worth $1.7 billion and now the Pittsburgh Film Office is pushing to convert the building into a filming location. The film office’s proposal has been dubbed “Terminal P” and is complete with a new website with several officials included in the push to turn the old facility into a location that could attract Hollywood. The proposed redesign of the terminal would convert the space into a 440,000 square-foot production location with 60-foot ceilings, according to the Terminal P website. Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro is among those included who recorded statements as part of the push to convert the airport space, saying that he’s thrilled to invite filmmakers, producers and creatives to choose Pittsburgh’s brand new production facility for their next project.
