A 13,000-sf, 605-seat concert hall will be built at Ellsworth Street and Chicago Avenue. It is designed by Talaske Group Inc., which consulted on the acoustics at Pritzker Pavilion at Millennium Park. The fine arts center will include a 150-seat experimental theater that can double as a dance studio.
Gifts totaling nearly $10 million from North Central College graduate Dr. Myron Wentz is helping pay for the concert hall, which will be named in his honor, and fine arts center.
