Project details

The International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) Union Hall is built in Chicago IL, just south of the McCormick Place Convention Center. The 25M project is a remodel of a closed down Chicago Public School. Classroom space was turned into office space and a one thousand seat Hall was added.. Parking was also added on site to accommodate the large union hall membership.

My roll on this project started in the middle of the DD phase. I worked on developing the design with a senior designer who also started at the same time. The project was significantly changed therefore I worked on a most building details, sections, elevations, renderings, etc.

Results

The project was a great success. The new IBEW Local 134 headquarters has been dubbed “the Beacon of Bronzeville” and praised for its sleek, state-of-the-art design. The project was completed on time, and the client was very satisfied with the final result.
