A GreenRise Renovation
One of the largest conglomerates of non-profit office spaces in the City of Chicago, ICA’s building sprawls across several decades of partial renovations and ad hoc additions.
Farr proposed a phased renovation of the historic eight-floor building with façade repairs, energy-efficient HVAC upgrades, and a new daylit common atrium with adjacent office suites. The atrium simplifies the flow of and creates a central hub for all office tenants across the 166,000 SF building.
