Welcome

Welcome Letter From Gary Schalmo, Director of Mc4West, LLC:
Welcome to the Mc4West Web site where you can learn about the McCormick Place West Expansion Project.

In April 2003, the Metropolitan Pier and Exposition Authority chose Mc4West, LLC as the design-build team for this project. The Mc4West team is made up of 10 distinguished and diverse companies with unparalleled experience in building large-scale projects. Mc4West is essentially the same team that developed the South Building project--which exceeded MBE/WBE goals, and was completed ahead of schedule and under budget. Over the course of the project, you will get to know many of these companies through our Mc4West Constructor newsletter.

The McCormick Place West Expansion Project is the fourth in the convention center complex. The project includes 470,000 square feet of exhibition space and 250,000 square feet of meeting space, including the city's largest ballroom.

We are enthusiastic about the benefits the McCormick Place expansion will provide to the City of Chicago and the State of Illinois. The Mc4West team sees this project as more than building the biggest convention center. It is also about building viable communities, thriving businesses, and lasting relationships.

We are proud to be a part of McCormick Place's plans to expand again, and invite you to visit our Web site for the latest information on bid packages, networking opportunities, community events and quarterly newsletter updates.

We look forward to great working relationships with MPEA, the surrounding area communities and all the people who will help to enhance the world's premier convention center.
