<p class="blog-para">from 1957 to 2008, the passenger terminal was on the east side of the airfield off high school road. This now-demolished facility was renovated and expanded many times, notably in 1968 (concourses a &amp; b), 1972 (concourse d) and 1987 (concourse c and the attached parking garage).

<p class="blog-para">Eight rental car operations and the ground transportation center (where information about limousine, shuttle bus, hotel courtesy vehicles and other transportation services such as indigo bus service can be obtained) are located on the first floor of the attached parking garage. All pick-ups and drop-offs of rental vehicles also occur here, eliminating the need for shuttling customers to and from individual companies' remote processing facilities. The five-floor parking garage covers 11 acres (4.5 ha) on each of its levels. It features a light-filled center atrium complete with a piece of suspended artwork and contains moving sidewalks to speed pedestrians into and out of the terminal building itself.</p>
