Summit Design + Build, LLC recently announced the completion of Emmi Solutions LLC’s new corporate headquarters in Chicago’s West Loop.
Emmi Solutions LLC, a healthcare communications consultant that helps patients better understand and manage their healthcare, was located in the same building but needed additional space prompting them to relocate and take over the entire top floor of the 12-story structure.
The new headquarters totals 20,455 sq. ft. and features a loft-style space with exposed masonry and mechanical systems, 17-ft 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, were responsible for the on-site construction of Emmi Solutions, LLC. Eastlake Studios was the project architect. +
