4240 continues our ongoing relationship with the U.S. General Services Administration as architect for the modernization and energy efficiency upgrade of the south site of the Chicago Federal Center. Made possible by federal stimulus funds, the project creates a sustainable work environment that will achieve LEED Silver certification,GSA and ARRA goals.
Interior work includes a tenant improvement project for the Department of Labor, which will occupy the top three floors (46,000 rsf) of the building, as well as modernizing or replacing mechanical systems, replacing elevator equipment and cabs, developing a new building entrance/lobby as well as retail space along Jackson Boulevard.
