CHICAGO (Indiana's NewsCenter) - Say goodbye to the Sears Tower.

The Chicago skyscraper isn't going anywhere.

It's just going to be officially known as something else, The Willis Tower.

It's now named after a London-based insurance company, "Willis Group," which will occupy 140,000 square feet of the building.

The 110-story skyscraper was originally named the Sears Tower when it opened in 1973.
