Project Highlights & Results

Design solution to convert the building to classroom and office
spaces addressed the following significant challenges:
– Building holds National Landmark Status
– Building listed on National Registrar of Historic Places
– Poor comfort and indoor air quality
– No central cooling
– No central system to introduce outside air
– Poorly controlled steam heating system
– No horizontal ductwork at all in the building.
– City of Chicago ventilation standards would have required
exhaust risers and ductwork too large to fit within
building spaces.
Completed the 8-year phased redevelopment project while building
was occupied.
