O’ Hare Terminal

A new two-concourse Terminal 1 (dubbed ‘The Terminal for Tomorrow’), designed by Helmut Jahn was built between 1985 and 1987 on the site of the original Terminal 1; the structure, which includes 50 gates, is best known for its curved glass forms and the connecting underground tunnel between Concourses B and C. The tunnel is illuminated with a neon installation titled Sky’s the Limit (1987) by Canadian artist Michael Hayden, which plays an airy, slow-tempo version of Rhapsody in Blue.
