    Tradesmen, from Walsh Construction in, support of the Army Corps of Engineers, Chicago District, work around the clock in order to create a COVID19 Alternate Care Facility at McCormick Place to help the city of Chicago and the surrounding communities in the fight against the pandemic. Walsh Construction is the main construction company helping to create the 3000 patient bed facility. 500 patient beds in Hall C of the ACF were built in less than four days, while another 1750 beds in Hall A were created in less than two weeks. The final 750 patient beds in Hall B are scheduled for completion by April 24. The Chicago District, in support of FEMA, the White House, Department of Defense and the state, are currently constructing approximately 4000 COVID19 patient rooms at four ACFs within the state of Illinois.
