“Studio ORD…headed by Chicago-based Studio Gang Architects features a Y-shaped structure converging on a central atrium. The three-pronged layout is likely a nod to the Chicago municipal device—a symbol of the Chicago River’s three branches—that is found throughout the city’s built environment. The design features warm, wood tones and a number of indoor trees as a reference to Orchard field, O’Hare International Airport’s original name. The Studio Gang-led bid includes partner firms Solomon Cordwell Buenz, STL Architects, Corgan Associates, and MIlhouse Engineering and Construction.”
