Quick flight to O’Hare for the Terminal 5 Parking Garage tower crane

Rendering of the T5 parking garage from SCB.

This crane’s been at work for a while. It’s erecting a six-story parking deck in front of the International Terminal 5 at O’Hare Airport. The rendering looks kinda like a cruise ship. I like it. Better than an ORDinary parking garage. 1,700 parking stalls will replace what had been a surface parking lot.

Here are a few of the players on this project:
SCB – design architect
AECOM Hunt – contractor
Clayco – contractor
Bowa Construction – contractor
F.H. Paschen – concrete
City of Chicago – developer

Enjoying the photos? Metra and CTA rides (and Amtrak trains to Milwaukee), Zipcars, Divvy Bikes, camera lenses, domain fees, snacks & energy drinks, and comfortable walking shoes add up. You can help offset expenses by making a greatly-appreciated donation to Building Up Chicago.

  1. Any plans to improve the traffic from the Domestic Terminal to Terminal 5? The right turn lane to T5 are very small and short. Nothing has been done especially when rideshare cars are also using this as in and out to the TNP Lot.
