Project
AP056.S1.1987.PR03
Description:
This project series documents renovations and expansions to the Dorchester Corporation offices in Chicago from 1987-1988. The office identified the project number as 8736. This project primarily consisted of the expansion and renovation of the offices located on the 23rd and 24th floor of the historic Jeweler's Building located at 35 East Wacker Drive. The client, Marex Properties Limited, requested the interior modernization of the terracotta-faced building, without compromising its historical character. This included the general update of public spaces, the redesign of typical office corridors, washrooms, windows and signage. The 23rd floor was gutted and rebuilt with a new glass façade, exterior deck and interior layout. An additional 4,000 square feet of space was added to the 24th floor by pushing the exterior walls outward. A complete upgrade of life safety, HVAC, mechanical and electrical systems was also implemented. Led by Marianne McKenna and Thomas Payne, this project won the 1990 Modernization Award of Excellence from Buildings Magazine. The project is recorded through drawings and photographic materials dating from 1987-1989. The drawings are mostly originals and include sketches, presentation drawings, plans and elevations.
