PROJECT OF THE MONTH
AUTHOR Christina Marsh
Taking a Look at
O'Hare 21
What to expect from the improvement project
and where it currently stands.
THE CHICAGO O'Hare International Airport (ORD) is
in the midst of a major multi-dimensional and multiphase
infrastructure improvement project, O'Hare 21.
The project includes three signature projects: Terminal 5
Expansion and Modernization; Terminal Area Plan which
includes construction of two satellite concourses and
O'Hare Global Terminal; and the completion of Runway
9C-27C, part of the O'Hare Modernization Program.
Runway 9C-27C was completed
in 2020, the Terminal 5 Expansion
Project and two satellite concourse
projects are projected to finish
this year while the O'Hare Global
Terminal construction is expected to
commence in 2026.
" O'Hare 21 really is a generational
capital investment in O'Hare's facilities
that will take approximately 15
years to put in place, " said City of
Chicago Department of Aviation
Chief Development Officer Robert
Hoxie. " The purpose of the program
is to transform O'Hare and give it terminal
facilities primarily that are fit for
purpose for the 21st century. "
Hoxie said O'Hare 21 is trying to
achieve four major priorities: replace
aging infrastructure, improve terminal
facilities, improve passenger amenities,
and increase gate capacity.
" Just last month we celebrated the
60-year anniversary of President
John F. Kennedy's ribbon cutting on
O'Hare Terminals 2 and 3. 60 years
old, right? A lot of buildings start to

ment program, " Hoxie said.
" A third major component is
improving the terminal facilities and
the level of service afforded to passengers
and to the people that work there
every day, " Hoxie said. " That's bigger
hold rooms, more food and beverage
offerings, more amenities, and overall
nicer spaces that are properly sized for
the types of volumes that are using
them day in and day out. "
As part of O'Hare 21, the airport
received an environmental approval
on the Terminal Area Plan from the
FAA in November of 2022.
require investment when they get up
to that age, so replacing aging infrastructure
is probably the single biggest
component of the O'Hare 21 invest " US
Department of Transportation
Secretary, Pete Buttigieg, was here
in Chicago with Mayor Lightfoot
and Commissioner Jamie Rhee to
announce the FAA's decisions on the
environmental, and that really allows
us to move forward with construction
on this exciting improvement, "
Hoxie said.
Terminal 5 Expansion
and Modernization
ORD's $1 bil lion Terminal 5
Expansion and Modernization began
in March 2019. Hoxie said the work
in 2019 and 2022 was primarily
focused on expanding remote aircraft
parking areas.
THEY HAD TO CREATE SPACE
TO SHIFT DIFFERENT TENANTS
AROUND IN THE AIRPORT SO
THAT THEY COULD TEAR DOWN
TERMINAL 2 AND START THAT WORK. "
