Inland Steel Building
STATUS
Concept
SIZE
100,000 sqft - 300,000 sqft
Restoration of a Landmark of Innovation
Designed by SOM in the 1950’s to give form to innovative organizational business methods, the Inland Steel tower is an icon on Chicago’s skyline and a National Historic Landmark. The approach for the project is to renovate in the spirit of innovation in which the building was concieved. This strategy fits the needs of the emerging global workplace. The new interior pays homage to Inland Steel’s iconic aesthetic and includes the latest workplace technologies. In addition, Inland Steel’s civic and cultural leadership is conveyed through an initiative for a revolving arts program at the lobby and exterior plazas.
As a more flexible alternative to a conventional commercial fit-out, the concept of an office hotel gives companies an immediately deployable workplace and high-end amenities without tying them down. The design’s forward-thinking workplace is an integrated system based on a kit of parts of partitions, modular office furniture, and environmentally-conscious finishes. Tenant spaces can be rearranged or expanded quickly and cleanly, yielding a flexible and lively Office Urbanism.
The project aims to make workplace comfort environmentally and economically sustainable. An active chilled beam system regulates the temperature inside without wasting energy. The office hotel’s modular fit-out system allows for a “green leasing” initiative that eliminates the wastefulness of interior demolition. The design shows leadership by introducing these ecological products and concepts to the marketplace, and forward-thinking tenant companies will be able to boast that their home is one of the first commercial interiors in the United States to achieve LEED Platinum certification.
