Jobsite photography company OxBlue has released a time-lapse video, capturing the recent construction process at McCormick Place in Chicago. Originally built in 1958, the large convention center underwent significant renovation from 2015 to 2017, with the addition of Wintrust Arena and adjoining 1268-room Marriot Marquis hotel. OxBlue’s edited time-lapse video shows construction from the ground-up through more than 181,000 high-definition photographs.
“Chicago has nearly 50 high-rise construction projects under construction and being able to share some of that progress with the public through time-lapse photography is a great way to showcase exciting projects like McCormick Place,” said Chandler McCormack, OxBlue CEO.
The updated facility includes more than 241,548 m2 (2.6 million sf) of exhibit halls across a series of four buildings: the North, South, and West buildings, and Lakeside Center. Connected by pedestrian walkways and sky bridges, McCormick Place also features a series of shops, cafes, and restaurants.
