| Epstein served as Architect/Engineer
of Record for the United Airlines Passenger Terminal
1 Complex located at O’Hare International Airport
in Chicago, Illinois.
United's Terminal I includes a main concourse and a
parallel concourse separated by over 800 feet of paved
tarmac between the two structures. This allows for dual
taxiing of wide-body aircraft between the two concourses.
An underground pedestrian tunnel, equipped with moving
sidewalks and an overhead kinetic light sculpture connects
these concourses. The terminal further houses one of
the world's largest underground baggage-handling rooms,
capable of processing 480 bags per minute.
Epstein, as Architect/Engineer of Record, worked in
association with Helmut Jahn, the Design Architect. |
