Epstein was the design architect, as well as the civil and electrical engineer for this award-winning toll plaza located at Midway Airport. The main design elements of this project are a small parking office, a vehicular canopy, a pedestrian canopy, toll booths and a garden wall. The form and scale of the main canopy is intended to act as a unifying element for the various functional pieces. The small canopy slides under the larger one, allowing for covered pedestrian access to the toll booths. At night, the canopy functions as a large reflector, illuminating the toll plaza and guiding motorists to the exit.

This project was awarded a Distinguished Building Honor Award and a Divine Detail Award from the Chicago Chapter of the AIA. Epstein's lighting design also received an Award of Merit for Lighting Excellence for the Chicago Lighting Institute and a Chicago Illumination Design Award from the Chicago Society of Illuminating Engineers.
