CHICAGO- Morgan/Harbour Construction has just announced that the firm was selected to construct a 21,000-square-foot hangar at the Chicago Executive Airport in northwest suburban Wheeling.

“This will be the second hangar we've constructed at Chicago Executive Airport,” says Warren Seil, president of the Woodridge-based Morgan/Harbour. “We look forward to again working with the Village of Wheeling and Prospect Heights, and the Chicago Executive team.” The municipalities purchased the 411-acre airport in 1986. Approximately three hundred aircraft use the field regularly and about 200,000 take-offs and landings occur each year.

Located at 1062 Milwaukee Avenue, the new hangar will include 3,186-square-feet of office space and a 2,000-square-feet storage area. The firm completed a new facility for Atlantic Aviation last year.

Ben Warriner, vice president of construction for Morgan/Harbour, is the project executive and Josh Peters is the project manager. The firm's John Chengary is the project superintendent. Engberg Anderson Architects and Pierce Engineers, Inc. are providing the architectural and engineering services. They will complete the new hangar by summer.
