CHICAGO, May 16, 2012 - Nearly 90 subcontractors attended the Chicago O'Hare International Terminal 5 Construction Opportunity Fair held earlier this week at the Chicago Department of Aviation (CDA) Administration Building.

Local subcontractors network with representatives from the JV, Westfield and CDA during the morning session on May 15, 2012.

The event drew attendees from an array of union trades. The morning and afternoon sessions were hosted by McHugh/Ornelas Joint Venture, which has been named general contractor for Westfield Concession Management's portion of the redevelopment of O'Hare International Terminal 5.

McHugh/Ornelas JV team members presented to attendees details on how the project will expand and renovate the existing concessions area in the International Terminal, including a relocation of the existing passenger security checkpoint.

The JV is looking for subcontractors in union trades, to include demolition; steel; doors and hardware; carpentry and plumbing, and others.

Each session provided a great opportunity for subcontractors to ask questions about upcoming projects.

The attendees had the opportunity to network with representatives from the JV, Westfield Concession Management and the CDA.

As the Terminal 5 redevelopment progresses, additional construction-related opportunities will become available through Westfield's partners. Those interested are encouraged to visit www.chicagoT5.com for future updates and upcoming events.
