Union Carpenters Restoring Chicago Aquarium

MACRC members are keeping the pedal to metal on the Shedd Aquarium restoration project.

The $500 million, four-phase construction project is being led by Chicago-based general contractor partners Pepper/BMI Construction LLC. The new additions include greater physical accessibility, a new, centralized animal hospital and aquatic science labs, and a flexible and dynamic new space for environmental education.

This hefty load is expected to be wrapped up by 2027. Union carpenters’ elite training makes us the go-to workforce for projects of this magnitude!
