500 WEST MADISON LOBBY + AMENITIES

overview

The office tower at 500 West Madison Street houses Ogilvie Station - Chicago's busiest commuter rail station - as well as over one million square feet of commercial office space. Desiring to reposition the building in the office market, Ownership charged G|R|E|C with revitalizing under utilized space into hospitality-inspired tenant amenity space. The program includes a new lobby reception area,; a large co-working lounge with semi-private workrooms and a full service bar; a confferenmce center wtih dividable classrooms; and a new outdoor amenityterrace at an unused adjacent roof level. The design concept is to create a calm, sophisticated environment incorporating sinuous lines, ambient lighting and rich materials such as venetian plaster.
