Sears Tower Skydeck bays are retractable and designed to hold five tons. There will be four bays on the west side of the building. According to a report by David Roeder of the Chicago Sun Times, the bays surround occupants with three panes of glass, each a half inch thick. Article and video on Chicago Sun Times website.
According to a press release on the Sears Tower website, the Ledge is a series of glass bays that extend from the building as part of an updated Skydeck Chicago experience. The bays each reach out 4.3 feet from the building's Skydeck on the 103rd floor. Visitors have an unobstructed view of Chicago, 1,353 feet straight down.
The Ledge is part of the effort to modernize the skyscraper which was built in 1973. Sears Tower has also recently unveiled a sustainable plan to transform the building into a more environmentally friendly, or “green” structure. Green initiatives include efficiency improvements to the windows, updated mechanical systems, , modernized elevators and escalators, upgrades to restroom fixtures for water savings, advanced lighting and daylight harvesting and use of renewable energy (wind and solar).
The Sears Tower Skydeck is one of the top tourist attractions in Chicago. Ticket information for the Skydeck can be found on the Sears Tower website (http://www.theskydeck.com/tickets.asp).
