For Chicago’s historic Navy Pier, Field Operations has designed a contemporary “pierscape” design that will renew the popular destination’s experience and connection to the water. The design envisions a contemporary public realm that embraces the lake, the city’s culture and the Pier’s spectacle. Renewed with engaging social spaces, generous and diverse seating, contemporary architecture, stunning water features, new signage, atmospheric lighting, amusements, and seasonal plantings, the South Dock and adjoining Pier Park, East End Park, Crystal Garden and other public spaces will make Navy Pier not only a world-class icon, but also a center of activity and culture that is an integral part of Chicago.
Construction is currently underway.
