Yes the new terminal does look quite nice and should be a nice facility once it is up and running, however is has been plagued by issues for the last while. It was originally supposed to open in Oct of 2010, and I don't know what they are projecting now, I have lost count of how many times they have pushed back the opening date.
One interesting tidbit in the new terminal headaches is the way it is positioned. The ground controller can't see the gate area from the tower, so they are blind to aircraft requesting push back and aircraft that are pulling up to the gate.
I don't know much about the tower side of things but I would think they will need to develop new procedures or have a dedicated ground radar to deal with that.
