JCFO Team Wins Chicago Navy Pier Competition

April 2012

Billings Jackson Design is part of the James Corner Field Operations team that has beaten 51 international entries to redesign Navy Pier’s public spaces.

These include the Gateway Park at the west entrance of the Pier, Crystal Garden, Pier Park, East End Park, the South Dock as well as the smaller public spaces along the length of the Pier. This work will include enhancements to the Pier’s landscaping and streetscape along with the addition of water features, public art and lighting.

The Pierscape redevelopment is an important component of the ‘Centennial Vision’, which seeks to make Navy Pier a world-class destination as it approaches its 100th anniversary in 2016.
