Six concourse buildings, parallel to one another, exist for passenger boarding. The first concourse is directly connected to the main terminal, and is known as the T-Gates (for Terminal). The remaining five concourses are arranged successively in distance from the terminal as Concourses A, B, C, D, and E. Concourse E is the international terminal, and was opened in 1994 in time for the 1996 Summer Olympic Games, which were held in Atlanta. International passengers who arrive in Atlanta are subjected to a security re-check after clearing customs due to the fact that the facility exits into the concourse instead of the main terminal lobby. The concourses are connected by an underground Transportation Mall, which begins at the main terminal and passes under the center of each concourse. There used to be a second underground walkway between Concourses B and C located at the north end of the two concourses, that made it possible to transfer without returning all the way to the center of the concourse. This was originally constructed for Eastern Airlines, who occupied these two terminals. This is now blocked off and the old entrance at Terminal B has been replaced by a bank of arrival/departure monitors.
