There is currently only one terminal at BUF, although there has been other ones in the past. The current terminal was built in 1997, as it was decided that it was more logical to build a completely new terminal rather than continue renovating the previous ones. The new terminal cost $56 million, although it was further expanded in 2001 to increase the total number of gates to 24.
