challenge
One of the most iconic airports in our country, O’Hare Airport is an integral part of millions of travelers’ journeys each year—and the International Terminal is perhaps the busiest area of them all. Chicago officials wanted an exciting way to greet international visitors to our city, and in January of 2013, brought CT Mechanical to the table to help bring the transformation of this departure zone to life.
solution
The face-lift of Terminal 5 was complete with a brand-new food court, home to multiple restaurants all in need of the HVAC works: kitchen hoods, makeup air and exhaust systems and more. Of course, in a bustling airport, a major overhaul of one of the most frequented terminals required skillful planning to ensure our work didn’t interrupt the day to day of hectic air travel.
results
Over the course of the International Terminal remodel, our team gradually completed work on the necessary furnishing and installation for the area’s new food court, finishing on time and on budget. Now, O’Hare’s Terminal 5 is a beacon for those traveling, offering a true glimpse at what our great city has to offer.
