Discovery Partners Institute Headquarters

The 78 is a planned mega-development to transform 62-acres into a new innovation district along the Chicago River. Located on a one-acre site within The 78, the new headquarters of the Discovery Partners Institute (DPI), a part of The University of Illinois System, will anchor the district. As the first project to break ground at The 78, the building will signal the beginning of a transformation—one that will connect South Loop and Chinatown, filling the 62-acre void that has long separated them.
