Designed by Charles Sumner Frost, Navy Pier is located on Lake Michigan, just East of Chicago's Downtown, Navy Pier has been a Chicago landmark since it first opened in 1916. Originally designed as both a shipping and recreational facility, the Pier also served as a military training site during two world wars, a venue for concerts and exhibitions, and the temporary home for a once-fledgling University of Illinois' Chicago campus. As the Pier fell into disuse during much of the 1970s and 1980s, the State of Illinois and Chicago embarked on a joint plan whereby, in 1989, ownership of the Pier was transferred to the Metropolitan Pier and Exposition Authority, the same body which oversees Chicago's McCormick Place. This section is located at the eastern-most edge of the 3,000-foot Pier. It is considered the historic East End. Offering the city's best view of the spectacular skyline and lakefront. It has an 18,000-square-foot Shelter Building and the 12,000-square-foot Recreation Building. The magnificent Grand Ballroom, with its 80-foot domed ceiling, continues to serve banquet, performance and special exhibit needs as it has since the Pier first opened in 1916
