O’Hare Terminal 5 Expansion
Architect: Muller2 & HOK
Installer: Christopher Glass and Aluminum
Location: Chicago, Illinois
Innovation Glass is proud that VS1 was selected for a significant scope of the O'Hare Terminal 5 Expansion, which recently opened to the public.
VS1 will be utilized for roughly 40,000 square feet of facade on the terminal's new head house and along the east concourse. Approximately 40% of the facade utlizies electrochromic (smart glass) technology supplied by View, Inc. The VS1 system is well suited to provide complete access to the electrical wiring at the smart glass edges, which greatly improves ease of installation and post-construction wire maintenance.
The 350,000 sq. ft. expansion is designed by a team led by Muller & Muller and HOK, with whom we look forward to continuing the collaboration in pursuit of excellent architecture. We worked with building envelope contractor Christopher Glass & Aluminum to bring this exciting project to life.
This project is part of the larger “O’Hare 21” modernization effort, which began in 2017 with significant renovations to Terminal 3. This phase added 10 gates to the terminal.
