Executive terminal airport in chicago

Established in 1927, Midway served as Chicago’s primary airport until the opening of O’Hare International Airport in 1955. Today, Midway is one of the busiest airports in the nation and the second-busiest airport in the Chicago metropolitan area and the state of Illinois. CCS performed master plan studies involving a new 4-story parking structure with a capacity for 3,200 cars; a CTA parking and pedestrian walkway relocation; and renovations to the landside terminal building, airside concourse building, and central plant. Extensive infrastructure work included the relocation of Cicero Avenue to remove the “S” curve near the airport and rebuild the street one block east of the current location. New traffic signals at entry points to the airport were coordinated with the Chicago and Illinois Departments of Transportation.

Concourse A Infill

CCS worked on a 50,000 SF addition to an existing 2-story satellite building at Midway, located adjacent to Concourse A. The addition houses a 300-person passenger hold room, gate check-in counters, a mini food court with seating, concessions, and an airline operation office space. The project also included a temporary walkway and relocation of existing utilities.

Inline Baggage Corridor and Lobby Improvements

We were involved in the conversion of 12,495 SF of parking stalls and drive lanes into a new entry corridor and lobby from a CTA stop to the airport terminal. The project included removing two parking stub dispensers, relocating three parking ticket dispensers, construction of a reinforced CMU partition to contain vehicle traffic, and enclosure of the corridor and lobby.

Rental Car Parking Structure

CCS led the development of a 698,092 SF rental car parking facility located at the airport. The project consisted of a parking structure for the car rental companies, a fueling station and car wash, and an on-grade parking facility.
