Scope Of Work
The McCormick Place West Building Expansion provides an additional 470,000 square feet of exhibit space to the existing 2.2 million square feet at the convention center. The West Building also boasts 250,000 square feet of meeting space spread across 61 rooms and a 100,000 square-foot ballroom. The West Building Expansion project used 30,800 tons of structural steel framing that required its purchase at the height of steel price spikes in 2004. As a result of the design-build process, the Mc4West team overcame the burden of the run-up in steel prices.
