Designed by Renzo Piano and completed in 2004, the Exelon Pavilions are four solar-powered structures situated at the edges of Millennium Park in Chicago's Loop. The North Pavilions flank the Harris Theater along Randolph Street, while the South Pavilions border the Lurie Garden along Monroe Street. Beyond their function as gateways—three providing access to underground parking and one serving as the park's welcome center—the pavilions collectively generate approximately 19,840 kilowatt-hours of electricity annually through solar panels. Constructed at a cost of $7 million with $5.5 million contributed by the utility company Exelon, the structures were completed between July and November 2004. The North Pavilions earned LEED silver certification and an ASHRAE award, though architecture critics offered mixed assessments: the South Pavilions were praised as "minor modernist jewels," while the North Pavilions drew criticism for appearing "nearly all black and impenetrable."
