Just opened in 2019, the ABC Building is a historic building that has been renovated to provide meeting rooms and event space.
The entire McCormick Place campus is connected by dramatic pedestrian promenades and sky bridges and has more than 100 pieces of public art, creating a unique experience.
What’s more, McCormick Place is the largest green-certified convention center in North America. The facility offsets 100 percent of its electricity usage with clean, affordable wind energy, while the LEED Certified West Building features the Midwest’s largest farm-to-fork rooftop garden, planted in partnership with the Chicago Botanic Garden to supply McCormick Place restaurants.
