“With such an expansive space, it was our top
priority that the entire facility emphasizes connectivity and community,” said Dawn
Riegel, Director, Interior Architecture and Design of Ware Malcomb’s Chicago
and Oak Brook offices.
To help designate the space, the design team
implemented neighborhoods and active, interwoven landscaping using materials
and fixtures such as acoustical clouds and colored lighting to serve as beacons
for each area.
Break out spaces were implemented throughout to serve as individual oases for those needing to unwind away from their desks.
Adjacent
to the cafeteria is a light-filled corner city center with access to an outside
patio, providing employees an opportunity to connect with nature and unwind.
To enhance staff members’ well-being, a 5,200
square foot gym/multipurpose room with a full-size basketball court is
available to all employees.
The gym also boasts a 2,200 state-of-the-art
fitness center. To encourage activity, the space includes a quarter mile track
around the interior of the open office.
The General Contractor for the project was Alston Construction.
