The Chicago Daily Herald of October 22, 2008 states, "This November marks the opening of the first new runway at O'Hare since 1971,
located at the facility's north end. Along with the runway comes a new air traffic control tower that has a garden atop the first floor of its base
building. The rooftop has been planted with sedum, a low-maintenance ground cover.
"O'Hare is in the midst of a major rebuilding program, aimed at creating six parallel runways running east-west. As part of the new
construction, workers have created 33,000 square feet of rooftop gardens. These include plantings atop a guard post, the air traffic control
base building, a transformer building and a facility holding lighting control systems," (Pyke, 2008).
