🚀 O'Hare International Airport's Terminal 5 Parking Improvements The Chicago Department of Aviation (CDA) and its construction partners have achieved a significant milestone in the modernization of O'Hare International Airport. The final beam has been placed on the new six-story parking garage at Terminal 5, a crucial step in the broader $8.5 billion O'Hare 21 initiative aimed at transforming the airport into a state-of-the-art facility. 🏗️ Project Highlights: Increased Capacity: The new garage will more than double the parking capacity at Terminal 5, accommodating 2,600 vehicles. This includes both short- and long-term parking options, enhancing convenience for travelers. Modern Amenities: The garage will feature a parking guidance system to provide real-time availability of spaces and multiple electric vehicle charging stations, supporting sustainable travel options. Phased Construction: To minimize disruption, the construction is being completed in phases, allowing portions of the existing surface lot to remain open during the project. 🌟 Importance of the Project: Enhanced Passenger Experience: These improvements are part of a broader effort to provide a world-class travel experience, from curb to gate. The new infrastructure will facilitate smoother, more efficient operations at one of the world's busiest airports. Economic Impact: The project supports job creation and business opportunities, involving 60 contractors, including 14 minority-owned and 14 women-owned firms [Chicago Department of Aviation (CDA) Hits Milestone on Construction of New Terminal 5 Parking Garage at O’Hare International Airport](https://lnkd.in/e4JWBm9H), [ORD 21](https://lnkd.in/ef7aEhQQ), [New Parking Garage Will Double Available Parking At O'Hare International Airport Terminal 5](https://lnkd.in/eN_pwdrF). 🌍 Looking Forward: As the project progresses towards its completion later this year, it marks a significant advancement in O'Hare's ability to meet the needs of modern air travel, improving both functionality and passenger satisfaction. 💬 Your thoughts: - ✈️ How do you think these improvements will enhance your travel experience at O'Hare? - 🔌 What other features would you like to see in airport facilities? #O'Hare21 #AirportModernization #AECOMHuntClayco #ChicagoAirport For more detailed information, visit the Chicago Department of Aviation's official site at [www.chicago.gov](https://lnkd.in/eVTq5WSA) and [ORD 21](https://www.ord21.com).

This is interesting to see Michel Bruneau, thanks for highlighting this remarkable performance. Happenings in recent times especially continues giving credence to the fundamental consideration of engineering a permanent shelter, home or building as with other infrastructures which is - planning, designing and building for worse case scenarios always proves it worth. On another note, I observe that reinforced concrete and structural steel framed buildings and even masonry buildings built with average skills easily outperform wooden framed structures in severe weather events such as cat 3 storm. This brings me to ask - Are there special motivators to the prevalent use of wood as a predominant and preferred material of choice for the average American home? Is it perhaps comparatively better in terms of overall cost, ease of build, ready availability of materials, lighter foundations, ease of destruction with easily removable debris or causing lesser fatalities when such lightweight structures collapse? Which of these tick the mark?
