Exelon Pavilions: Millennium Park Welcome Center and Garage Entrances

Millennium Park Homepage > Art & Architecture > Exelon Pavilions

 

The four Exelon Pavilions, which use state-of-the art technology to convert solar energy into electricity, are an integral part of Chicago’s efforts to become the most environmentally-friendly city in North America. Together, the Pavilions provide enough electricity annually to power 14 star-rated energy-efficient houses in Chicago.

The northwest and northeast pavilions are minimalist black cubes designed to complement the neighboring Harris Theater. The northwest pavilion houses the Millennium Park Welcome Center, along with an Exelon energy display area. The northeast pavilion provides access to the parking garage.

The two Exelon Pavilions on the Park's south end also provide access to the Millennium Park Garage, and were designed by architect Renzo Piano.

Millennium Park is located in the heart of downtown Chicago. It is bordered by Michigan Avenue to the west, Columbus Drive to the east, Randolph Street to the north and Monroe Street to the south.
