Bowa Construction provided general contracting services for
O’Hare International Airport’s new Building 521 for Airport Police.
Located near Terminal 5 between Service and Old Cargo Road,
the new facility boasts offices, detainee rooms, a processing
area, restrooms, designated locker room areas and the addition
of ballistic grade material for public safety. Additional scope of
work consisted of exterior removal and restoration of the existing

equipment, as well as new exterior windows and design
fabricated panels. In addition to aesthetic upgrades, abatement

the exterior portion of the building were replaced with fiber cement
paneling. Furthermore, a new ramp on the east side of the
building was constructed, as well as two new stair cases on the
west side and renovation of an existing entryway on the south
side.
