Mayor Rahm Emanuel announced that the City of Chicago has shortlisted five teams to compete to win the opportunity to design the historic O’Hare 21 Terminal Expansion Project at O’Hare International Airport.  The shortlist features a wide range of teams, with international and local expertise, who will vie for a chance to shape the future O’Hare Global Terminal and the airport’s biggest expansion ever. The teams include: Fentress-EXP-Brook-Garza Joint Venture Partners; Foster Epstein Moreno JV Joint Venture Partners; Santiago Calatrava LLC; Skidmore, Owings, & Merrill (SOM); and Studio ORD 
Joint Venture Partners. The shortlisted teams will be invited to participate in a Request for Proposal (RFP) for Lead Architectural Design Services. Through the RFP process, this winter, each team will submit a design model that will be showcased at various locations throughout the city. In the coming months, the City will seek public feedback on the design concepts presented by each of the five finalist teams. This input will be taken into consideration as part of the final selection.
