麥考密克會展中心位于美國中心城市芝加哥，是美國最大的會議中心和貿易展覽中心。建筑面積達90萬平方英尺，可以舉辦各類活動，每年有900萬以上的參觀者在這里集聚。

筆直的人行道上，設有大幅路標，顏色亮麗，花樣音樂噴泉賞心悅目，定制地毯充滿藝術感，水磨石花紋細膩美觀，再加上別具一格的燈光，形成一幅和諧的唯美畫卷。廣場的選址也比較考究，將已有的建筑物與新增的設施相連接。

廣場的另一端是110英尺高的前廳，十分引人注目。前廳對面是凱悅酒店（TVS設計）與會議中心共同形成的商務中心，占地5英畝。

The signature quarter-mile Grand Concourse connects over six million square feet in cathedral- like space, serving as the central avenue.

McCormick Place makes a powerful statement in the city at the heart of America as the nation’s largest convention and trade show facility. Able to accommodate events in rooms up to 900,000 square feet, it also affords a quality of intimacy and clarity for over nine million annual visitors.

Large colorful guideposts, the sight and sound of synchronized fountains, the art of custommade carpet, terrazzo patterns, and unique custom lighting harmonize in directing pedestrians on their way. tvsdesign situated the concourse to link existing buildings with the new facilities.

The concourse terminates in a dramatic 110 foot high entrance lobby facing a five acre plaza formed by the tvsdesign Hyatt Regency Hotel and Conference Center.
