The Illinois Science + Technology Park

www.forestcityscience.net

The Illinois Science and Technology Park, located in Skokie, just north of downtown Chicago, is comprised of two million square feet of existing and to-be-built research and office space, available for lease. The park will help create Illinois' new technology transfer hub. Currently under redevelopment, this campus should create almost 20,000 jobs (direct and ripple effect) and generate $3.6 billion annually for Illinois' economy. DCEO, in partnership with Forest City Enterprises, plans to increase product development capacity by outfitting the space for large companies, small innovators, medical institutions and universities so they may all conduct business from one location.
