CHICAGO — Summit Design + Build has broken ground WhirlyBall’s new 50,000-square-foot facility located on a 1.5 acre site at 1823 W. Webster in Chicago. The new entertainment venue is adding bowling and meeting/event space for 250-plus attendees. The two-story facility will feature three WhirlyBall courts, 12 bowling lanes, a multi-level laser-tag arena, five party rooms and 5,000 square feet of office space. The full venue will have the capability to host private and corporate functions for 700-plus guests and will offer a full-service kitchen and bar. WhirlyBall will relocate from its current location at 1880 W. Fullerton Ave., which will be razed to make room for the city’s planned reconfiguration of the intersection of Damen, Elston and Fullerton avenues.
