Adam Miller, president of Summit Design + Build, LLC, announced that construction is underway for Emmi Solutions LLC’s new corporate headquarters in the 300 W. Adams building in Chicago’s West Loop.
Emmi Solutions LLC, which creates interactive media that helps patients better understand and manage their healthcare, is currently located in the same building but will be doubling their current office space and will take over the entire top floor of the 12-story structure.
According to Miller, the new headquarters will total 20,455 sq. ft. and feature a loft-style space with exposed masonry and mechanical systems, 15 foot clear ceilings, two large rooftop skylights and private offices with full glass partition walls.
Summit Design + Build’s Dave Mooney, senior project manager, and Josh Halagiere, project engineer II, will be responsible for the on-site construction of Emmi Solutions. Eastlake Studios is the project architect. Completion is scheduled for end of first quarter 2012. BD+C
