Epstein, as part of the Mc3D joint-venture, served as the Architect/Engineer of Record and design/engineering team leader for this 2.9 million square foot expansion of McCormick Place Convention Center in Chicago, Illinois.

This hallmark project was designed to improve the exhibit space of McCormick Place and to attract and accommodate trade and consumer show users. The foremost goal of the exhibition hall was to provide a major new exhibit space that maintains the high standard that has given McCormick Place its premier position in the trade show industry.

The new South Hall (2,500,000 square feet), Galleria (300,000 square feet), and 100,000 square feet of new space at the North Hall combine for a total of 2,900,000 square feet of new exhibition area on one level.

The New South Hall was awarded an Honor Award by the National Association of the American Institute of Architects.
