“我们设计了一个灯光明亮的活动中心，我们希望它能成为一个好邻居，并能动态地表达它将举办的活动，”Pelli Clarke Pelli建筑公司的高级主管弗雷德·克拉克(Fred Clarke)说。它的拱形屋顶，从周围的建筑和街道上可以看到，将建筑与德保罗篮球和麦考密克广场事件的形象联系在一起。

“We have designed a light, luminous event center that we hope will be a good neighbor and a dynamic expression of the events that it will house,” said Fred Clarke, FAIA, senior principal of Pelli Clarke Pelli Architects. “Its gently arching roof, visible from surrounding buildings and streets, will tie architecture to the image of DePaul basketball and McCormick Place events.”

这项竞赛最初是为了寻找“受到专业尊重和敬佩的设计建筑师”，以“引人注目、富有想象力和创新的建筑”而闻名，这些建筑“激发了公众的热情，成为了主要的城市景点”。评估委员会也在寻找一种“敏感且适合周围社区”的设计-他们在Pelli Clarke Pelli的设计中发现了这一点。

The competition originally sought "professionally respected and admired design architects" known for "striking, imaginative and innovative buildings" that "generate public enthusiasm and become major urban attractions." The evaluation committee was also looking for a design that would be "sensitive and accommodating to the surrounding neighborhood" - and they found that in Pelli Clarke Pelli's design.

Reilly说：“Pelli Clarke Pelli为活动中心创造的动态而优雅的设计非常适合社区的结构。”“该公司的创新设计提供了一个功能和灵活的空间，这将使活动中心成为会议中心的一个极好的补充。这种设计的质量和特点将支持我们吸引新业务的目标，并成为进一步增强南环经济活力的催化剂。“

“The dynamic yet elegant design created by Pelli Clarke Pelli for the event center fits perfectly into the fabric of the community,” Reilly said. “The firm’s innovative design provides a functional and flexible space that will make the event center a wonderful complement to the convention center. The quality and distinction of this design will support our goal of attracting new business and serve as a catalyst to further enhance the economic vitality of the South Loop.”

活动中心预计将于2016年秋季完工，届时将有一家1200间客房的酒店举办会议和贸易展览，还有一家500间客房的中市场酒店，用于餐饮和娱乐活动。这些建筑物将聚集在一起，组成麦考密克广场娱乐区。

The Event Center is scheduled for completion in the fall of 2016 and will be accompanied by a 1,200-room hotel for conventions and trade shows and a 500-room mid-market hotel for dining and entertainment. These buildings will come together to make up the McCormick Place Entertainment District.
