First published Tuesday, January 24, 2017
The University awarded a contract for Chicago Hilton, LLC.
This emergency/quick purchase was required due to a situation in which immediate action was needed to prevent any disruption in University services.
This emergency request is needed as the College of Medicine Administration (COM)understood there to be an informal commitment from UIC Forum to host the COM Match Day event for as many as ten years into the future. Recently, staff learned that UIC Forum could not host the 2017 event on March 17, 2017.
COM Staff immediately began seeking an alternate venue upon learning of the Forum?s unavailability. All on-campus options were exhausted prior to making inquiries with numerous off-campus venues.
