The visuals for Chicago's new innovation center are a sight. Set on 62 acres in downtown Chicago, the offices are wrapped in a checkerboard of glass windows, a verdant garden sits beneath along with cobbled walkways, concrete ponds, spacious lobbies and throngs of people all spattered in between.
The renderings are concept illustrations of the Discovery Partners Institute (DPI), the first of many planned state innovation centers that will be part of a new Illinois Innovation Network (IIN). Gov. Bruce Rauner is backing the network along with the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign (UIUC).
