3 Com Rolling Meadows
Role: Project Manager/Architect.
3Com was looking to build a new Midwest campus and chose an existing building in Rolling Meadows, IL. The building was an old AT&T building that was 400,000 sf. It was the perfect fit but also needed to add another 100,000 sf and it needed to be done fast as 3Com was running out of space.
The solution was to design and build the envelope first and while the envelope was being built the interior was designed then build once the building was enclosed. This could only be done with clear communication and teamwork between the owner, contactor and architect.
This was accomplished with weekly schedule and budget meeting and placing part of the architectural team in the construction trailers. I spent one and a half years on site managing and troubleshooting the project.
