Jobsite photography company OxBlue<\/a> has released a time-lapse video, capturing the recent construction process at McCormick Place<\/a> 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\u2019s edited time-lapse video shows construction from the ground-up through more than 181,000 high-definition photographs.<\/p>\n

\u201cChicago 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,\u201d said Chandler McCormack, OxBlue CEO.<\/p>\n

The updated facility includes more than 241,548 m2<\/sup> (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.<\/p>\n
