From new corporate headquarters to in-

terior build-outs to data centers to banks,

ICI has successfully served commercial

and corporate clients for the past 30 years

on a wide variety of projects types. One

fact of which we are particularly proud:

several of our first commercial clients

remain clients today. This is because we

listen to and understand their needs, act

as an advisor when it comes to logistics

and scheduling and remain committed

Early in our relationship with this client,

ICI remodeled the interior of two, six-

story, 1920s manufacturing buildings

to serve as IRI’s corporate headquarters.

The two buildings, which we connected

via a skybridge, total 229,000 sf.

In 2007, ICI renovated this 150,000 SF

building for the second time, creating

a new 1st floor lobby and conference

center, new work spaces on the 2nd

thru 5th floors and a new client center

and executive offices on the 6th floor.

In addition to this work, new roof top

units were placed and the basement was

re-configured.

Because the building is a timber

structure, ICI constantly maintains

a high level of life safety. Fire Safety

precautions are reviewed regularly and

evacuation routes for employees are

updated for each construction phase.

ICI performed the site survey, preliminary

demolition and all construction services

required for the installation of this

15,000 SF data center at IRI’s corporate

headquarters, which could be accessed

from both national and international

locations. Upon completion of the

required demolition, ICI worked with

the MEP and structural engineers to

facilitate the installation of the new

data center. Features of the data center

included a redundant cooling tower

system, a dual grid, primary power

system with generator backup, and

raised floor system for the network fiber

optic system, cooling and power supply.

During the winter of 2008, ICI

completed a new 44,000 SF operations

center for Corus Bank. The project

included a back of house operation

facility, corporate offices and a Data

Center. Having outgrown their existing

location and finding the electrical

system was no longer able to function

at an acceptable level, it was clear a new

location was necessary.

ICI began construction in February

2008 and completed the project on

schedule in June. Diligent coordination

with the owner’s vendors was key to the

success of the project. The owner’s direct

vendors included an FF&E contract with

work stations for over 100 employees, a

high-tech security system and the Data

Center equipment. The Data Room

and Communications Rooms had to be

turned over to the contractor installing

the Servers by April 2008. This date was

critical because the data from the existing

facility needed to be downloaded to the

new facility before the air conditioning

became an issue.

For security purposes the project is

located in a discrete industrial park.

However, upon entering the building

you are met by Glass Conference Rooms,

Alumavault Acoustic Ceilings and

Offices that include Maple Wainscoat

and Glazed Walls. Office spaces were

mocked up during the rough stage

with MEP locations for Bank approval

prior to proceeding with construction.

This allowed for easy changes prior to

installation of the finishes.

This project for the Chancery of the

Consulate General of the Netherlands,

located on the 26th Floor of the 303

E. Wacker building in Chicago, was

completed in two phases to allow

the Dutch Consulate to remain open

throughout construction.

The scope of work included re-

configuring conference rooms and

offices, renovating the lobby, adding new

lighting, and installing new carpeting

and wall coverings within the 7,800 SF

space.

During construction many security

features, including a new mantrap, were

added or enhanced and technology

systems were updated throughout the

space. Additionally, the entryway to

the The Consulate’s internal offices

were upgraded with new millwork and

three, back-lit, glass artwork panels were

installed reflecting the essence of the

Netherlands.

This fast-track, multi-phased project was

completed on-time and within budget in

May, 2009.

Since 1982, Symphony/IRI has turned

to ICI to build-out over 1 Million SF

of office space across the country. The

spaces, totalling over 100 projects, cover

a variety of designs and textures ranging

from a natural wood atrium to industrial

lobbies.

By incorporating detailed phasing

plans into every project, ICI has

always completed construction while

the facilities are occupied and fully

functional.

A few of the techniques used to

accommodate continued operations

include arranging work schedules to

allow departments that interact with

business operations in Asia and Europe

to remain functional, building sound

walls to avoid noise disruption and

coordinating movement of personnel

and services, including electrical, video,

data, and the entire IT backbone of the

company.

As part of a 2007 renovation, ICI took

on the creation of a new 1st floor lobby

within a 150,000 SF building for the

second time. Additionally, new work

spaces were created on the 2nd thru 5th

floors.

ICI completed the construction of a new

facility for Suburban Bank and Trust in

New Lenox in 2009. The ground-up,

12,163 SF, building has a structural steel

frame with a brick veneer and radius

curtain wall.

The building is two stories, the first floor

for Suburban Bank and a 2nd floor for

tenant space. A partial basement will

serve as storage space for bank records.

The facility includes a 3 lane drive-thru,

3 main offices, teller area, elevator and

conference room. The conference room

is contained within the radius curtain

wall, making it one of the building’s

most prominent features.

ICI’s team coordinated the installation

of the owner supplied vault. Due to the

precast concrete vault’s size and weight,

our team had to lift each 3,000 pound

piece into place using a crane.

Site work on the project included an

underground retention storm trap to

take in runoff storm water.

ICI established an aggressive schedule

and was able to complete the facility one

week earlier than the original completion

date.

In the summer of 2010, ICI was

contracted by Suburban Bank once again.

This time, ICI was awarded the build-out

of the 2nd Floor Tenant Space.

organization, The Joyce Foundation,

to provide construction management

services for the renovation of their

office at Three First National Plaza in

downtown Chicago.

ICI provided construction consulting

during the design phase not only to

meet The Joyce Foundation’s estimated

budget, but more importantly to meet

their aggressive schedule of 12 weeks.

Foundation, Hines Interests Ltd.

Partnerships and Boyer Associates to

analyze materials and methods that

could be procured and implemented in

time and within the budget.

The 12,000 SF build-out provides for

20 offices, conference rooms and storage

areas.

The Joyce Foundation supports efforts to

protect the natural environment of the

ICI was given only 12 weeks to build-

out this 110,000 SF office space in

downtown Chicago.

A project of this magnitude would

typically require a 20-week schedule, but

by working with a fast-track initiative,

ICI was able to condense construction

and meet the time constraints Symphony/

IRI had for moving out of their old

location.

Designed by the architectural firm

Valerio Dewalt Train Associates, the

office called for an interesting marriage

of conventional office space and high-

end industrial looks.

The remodeled space made use of slanted

walls, industrial framing ceiling grids,

open ceiling hanging components and a

special wall that was metal shingled from

floor to ceiling. The design was meant

to blend well and give a spacious and

functional quality to the finished high-

tech office.

ICI renovated this massive 233,000 SF,

3-story storage facility in just six weeks.

The project first required extensive

demolition of the existing interior.

Following demolition, nearly 5,000 SF of

structural concrete repair was needed to

make floors and columns sound. Finally,

after refurbishment of the concrete floor,

an epoxy floor was installed.

ICI installed four large, solid-state,

automated overhead doors. For security

purposes, the doors are office-controlled

and equipped with photo-sensor entrance

and exit devices.

Guard rails, signage, traffic striping and

wheel blocks were installed to ensure the

safe movement of vehicles within the

facility.

Extensive electrical, plumbing and

drainage work was also required. For

security and fire alarm purposes, ICI

installed 83, 10-pound fire extinguishers

based upon Chicago Fire Department

requirements. A special steel bracing

system was required and installed on the

roof for support of the HVAC system.

The scope of work also included

constructing offices and a lobby area.

Three masonry vestibules were built

around existing entrances and interior

curtain walls were installed for visibility

and the benefit of daylight.

ICI completed this 4,900 SF new bank

at the northeast corner of Illinois State

Route 83 and St. Charles Road within

the set 120-day schedule.

The site formerly held an automotive

service station. To bring the site up to

code for the new building, material

(asphalt, curb, walkway, etc.) was

removed 4.5 feet below grade and

replaced with compacted granular

material.

Ductwork for the facility was run

beneath the slab, which helped the

heating system function more efficiently.

The exterior of this masonry building is

concrete block faced with Endicott Iron

Spot utility-sized brick, which will match

the strip-mall behind the bank. Atypical

corner angles and “jogs” along the walls

create a unique design aesthetic. This

angular effect is mirrored in the multi-

leveled, sloped roof surfaces.

High-level interior finishes within the

facility include bamboo veneer panels,

polished metal wall panels and granite

tile flooring.

For eight years, ICI served as

Construction Manager for Firstar / US

Bank. Projects varied in scope from

new construction to interior / exterior

renovations, ATM installations and

drive-thru lane conversions. Often,

ICI was retained early on in a project

to prepare budgets and schedules and

ensure on-time and on-budget delivery.

ICI’s experience with banking equipment

encompasses ATM’s, vault systems,

audio communications, underground/

overhead drive-thru pneumatic systems,

remote transaction systems, drive-thru

transaction windows and transaction

drawers. Many ICI-coordinated vault

installations have been modular systems,

using both reinforced concrete bases and

thick steel bases.

In Fox Lake, ICI’s team used directional

boring to place 300 feet of PVC tubing

underground as a conduit for data and

power cables servicing an ATM kiosk.

At the Austin Avenue location, bullet-

proof glass was required in drive-thru

windows and throughout the facility.

Communications and security systems

within the cash vault were especially

complicated due to the deterioration

of the building’s roof and parking lot.

These ICI projects have required creative

solutions to keep projects on-budget

and on-schedule while keeping facilities

operational.
