Gensler and Big Red Rooster have designed the office renovation for commercial real estate services company JLL, located in Chicago, Illinois.
The world of work is changing, driven by rapid technological innovation. That speed of change is accelerating, driving more offices to adapt. And yet, JLL’s headquarters hadn’t been renovated since minor cosmetic updates in 2007. An upcoming lease expiration was just the trigger needed to reevaluate the space.
Calling on a full spectrum of JLL services, the firm evaluated its current space, compared alternative buildings, built a future-proof workplace strategy and ultimately decided to renovate. JLL completely reworked 200,000 square feet of space on six floors to better serve more than 1,200 current employees who were instrumental in shaping the space. The result is a flexible, people-centric environment. It reinforces our culture, supports wellbeing and promotes productivity.
