O’Hare 21 – Satellite 1 and TAP program-wide design initiatives
The Chicago Department of Aviation (CDA) has embarked on O’Hare 21, a transformational terminal development program that will be implemented over the next decade. SOM is the designer for two major pieces of the Terminal Area Plan, Satellite Concourses 1 and 2. This presentation will provide an update on the overall capital development program, identify and discuss program-wide initiatives, and give an update on the first satellite concourse. Future program initiatives to be addressed include accessible design, climate and security resilience, sustainability, near- and long-term energy transition strategies, and socio-economic inclusion.
The audience will learn:
- What are the major development elements of the O’Hare 21 program and terminal area plans and their associated status?
- What are the design initiatives that were implemented, including lessons learned?
- How will the O’Hare 21 program adapt to the future needs of the aviation industry?
- What are the construction delivery methods being implemented for the numerous program elements?
- How is the vision of the Chicago Department of Aviation and SOM driving the program?
