Google is transforming Chicago’s iconic Thompson Center into a thriving space for Googlers, local tenants, and the public.
The new design expands the central opening beneath the 17-story atrium with a cascading staircase, terraced seating, and retail spaces. On the plaza, we’re commissioning a major public art sculpture by Chicago-trained and world-renowned artist @sanfordbiggers. We're also expanding our local community investments by partnering with @AftrSchoolMttrs for student-designed art installation and providing a $1M grant to @_abetterchicago to support student attendance.
The Thompson Center will reopen its doors in 2028. Learn more. → goo.gle/4yKNBnA
