City Shortlists O’Hare Expansion Design Teams

The Emanuel administration has shortlisted five teams to compete for the opportunity to design the $9-billion O’Hare 21 Terminal Expansion Project at O’Hare International Airport. They include: Fentress-EXP-Brook-Garza Joint Venture Partners; Foster Epstein Moreno JV Joint Venture Partners; Santiago Calatrava LLC; Skidmore, Owings, & Merrill; and Studio ORD Joint Venture Partners.

“Chicago has called upon some of the world’s best designers to help carry out our vision for the new O’Hare Global Terminal—the key to a bigger, better and more modern O’Hare for the 21st century,” said Mayor Rahm Emanuel. The competition’s outcome, he added, will ensure that Chicago remains “a leading hub for travelers around the world.”

In the upcoming RFP process, each team will submit a design model that will be showcased at various locations throughout the city. The city will seek public feedback on the design concepts presented by each of the five teams.
