Clune Construction, in collaboration with design firm SCB, proudly announces the completion of the expanded United Polaris Lounge in Terminal 1 at Chicago O’Hare International Airport (ORD). The high-profile project, completed in April 2025, more than doubled the size of the original lounge Clune delivered in 2016, reinforcing the firm’s reputation as a trusted builder for complex aviation and hospitality environments.

“Our enduring collaboration with SCB was instrumental in delivering this project seamlessly,” said Chris Redpath, Managing Director at Clune Construction. “Being invited back to expand the space we originally built is one of the highest compliments a client can offer. It’s a testament to our people, our process, and our attention to detail in active, guest-facing environments.”

SCB and Clune have partnered on more than 70 projects since 2004, most frequently in Chicago and Los Angeles. While the Polaris Lounge is a milestone in their long-standing collaboration, Clune’s national aviation practice continues to grow, most recently completing a high-end lounge at LAX and delivering 14 premium concessions as part of the Terminal C transformation at LaGuardia Airport.
