Evolv Technology has announced its partnership with 360 CHICAGO, the observation deck and immersive experience on the 94th floor of 875 N Michigan Avenue, formerly the John Hancock Center in Chicago, Illinois.

The company says that the Evolv Express security screening solution uses sensor technology combined with AI to tell the difference between certain threats and many kinds of metal objects people carry in their pockets.

After guests purchase their tickets for 360 CHICAGO, they pass through the Evolv system, helping allow them to quickly proceed to the elevator. 

After taking the elevator up to the experience, guests will find the TILT thrill ride and CloudBar, a cocktail lounge with panoramic views of the city.

Security screening

“The guest experience is our top priority,” said Jennifer Hesser, 360 CHICAGO’s Assistant General Manager.

“We brought Evolv on board as our security screening partner because we want the best of everything for our guests.

“Evolv has helped us improve our guests’ experiences and create a new level of comfort for everyone, because if you are in our space, you have been properly screened.”

“One of the wonderful things about 360 CHICAGO, beyond the unprecedented views of the city that it offers, is that it’s a respite from the busy streets below,” said Jay Muelhoefer, Chief Commercial Officer for Evolv Technology.

“We’re honored to be an integral part of that experience – adding a layer of safety and security to an incredible attraction that, quite literally, takes guests to new heights.”
