HOK Updates Terminal 5 At Chicago O\u2019Hare International Airport<\/h1>\n\n\n

2024 Best of Year Winner for Domestic Transportation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

At Chicago O\u2019Hare International Airport, Terminal 5\u2019s first expansion in 30 years is a wing-shape extension that modernizes one of the country\u2019s busiest airports in style. The project was initially conceived as a straightforward but uninspired linear addition to the existing concourse. Instead, HOK<\/a> proposed bending the design into a boomerang shape that optimizes the surrounding airfield space, with a curved roof that rises gracefully to peak at the terminal\u2019s elbow, forming a town square of sorts bathed in daylight from clerestory windows. The boomerang is in-filled with lounges, gates, and shops but, like an art museum, the architectural attitude is all about serenity. That\u2019s aided by a neuro-inclusive focus that reduces sensory overload through circadian lighting and ultraquiet mechanical systems, helping soothe the nerves of anxious flyers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
