Text description provided by the architects. The Cermak-McCormick Place station, completed in 2015, serves the country’s largest convention center and a stretch of the Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) Green Line that has been without a station since 1978. The design, a light-filled and weather-protecting tube covering the platform, provides an attractive and joyful experience for riders and those passing by. It is the result of creatively working within constraints: short construction schedule, modest budget, and no suspension of service. Tracks could also not be moved, as a result, platforms approximately 15 feet wide would have to serve trains in a community with anticipated population growth and transit use. In addition, the client wanted the station to serve as an iconic gateway to a high number of first-time visitors to Chicago.
