UOP Sponsors 'Platinum' on World's Largest Periodic Table of Elements

Chicago's Daley Center windows to display 8' x 8' 'elements' spanning eight stories

UOP is taking Platinum to new heights! During the week of September 22 through the 29, the world's largest periodic table of elements will be displayed in downtown Chicago's Daley Center building.

Sponsored by the American Chemical Society, the first ever Chicago Science Expedition is a dynamic collaboration of business, civic, cultural and community organizations. The planned events include a series of lectures and informal meetings to reinforce the importance of science in the community and around the world.

Each of the table's elements is being sponsored by organizations in all areas of science. Because the 8' x 8' windows across the face of the Daley Center building can accommodate all the squares on a periodic table, it was obvious to a science organization like the ACS what needed to be done: turn it into a giant periodic table of elements. The elements will take up eight floors of the Daley Center's windows.

Sponsoring companies, along with UOP, will have brief entries in a Chicago Sun-Times supplement detailing the importance of each element, highlighted by its specific sponsor. This activity dovetails into Honeywell's focus on math and science education. As of December 1, 2005, UOP became a wholly owned subsidiary of Honeywell.
