More than 22 million people travel through Midway annually. The over $300M revamped security pavilion, divided into three phases, covers 80,000 sqft. and it will give MDW additional security lanes, the installation of enhanced technology, and a single checkpoint system that is expected to double the TSA’s screening capacity – increasing the hourly throughput from 2,500 to 5,000 passengers.
Phase 1 and 2 of the project are completed with final delivery in the summer of 2020.
