shorter walk to the North Building.

the North Hall. It opened in 1997.

Lakeside Building - Outside
As an exhibitor or show attendee, make it a point to take in the view of Lake Michigan by walking out the
building’s east doors. During the warmer Chicago months, the patio is open with a seating area and places to
