ESD has welcomed many visitors to its Willis Tower headquarters since it moved into Chicago’s tallest building in 2018. And it is excited to host a special tour in June.
Todd Heiser, Principal, Gensler, and Jim Prendergast, Principal, Gensler will lead a tour of the new space for attendees of NeoCon on Tuesday, June 11. “The space seamlessly integrates a professional service company with a living lab for engineers,” notes NeoCon, which is partnering with the International Interior Design Association (IIDA) to feature some of the latest and most innovative spaces in Chicago during its June 10-12 event highlighting commercial design. The sold-out tour will also include Catalog, the five levels of dining, shopping and immersive experience at the base of the tower that is scheduled to be completed in 2021. ESD is working on that project.
