The authority, also known as McPier, is splitting arena construction costs with DePaul. The Metropolitan Pier and Exposition Authority, the quasi-public agency that would own and operate the 10,000-seat arena and event center, said in November it would push groundbreaking of the so-called McCormick Place Event Center to the spring as the arena's cost ballooned to $164 million. The projects, along with a new Green Line station on Cermak Road, anchor City Hall's plan to transform the area surrounding McCormick Place into an entertainment district, but have been fraught with delays. The arena and hotel would open in summer 2017. Project PluS, administered by DePaul’s School of Education, provides support services for students with learning disabilities through small group and one-on-one sessions.SOUTH LOOP - The much ballyhooed but delayed DePaul University basketball arena and Marriott hotel to be built near McCormick Place are inching closer to reality.Ĭonstruction on the massive South Loop development is slated to begin in July, Prairie District Neighborhood Alliance President Tina Feldstein told residents Monday at Second Presbyterian Church, 1936 S.
