Griskelis Young Harrell designed ISBA Mutual’s full-floor build-out as a vibrant, light-filled, work environment with client-focused amenities. This lawyers’ malpractice insurance provider relocated their offices to the 8th Floor of 20 S. Clark to better facilitate their association with the Illinois State Bar Association (Bar). 40% of the project’s 13,000 s.f. area is dedicated to a cyber café and conference center used to provide educational programs to Illinois attorneys and Bar members. Adjacent phone rooms enable seminar participants to tend to business while away from the office. Beyond dispensing refreshments, the café also serves as a “breakout” destination for guests to use between program sessions. A new glass-railed stair connecting the ISBA Mutual and Bar lobbies, affirms their affiliation, combines conference resources, and optimizes operational synergies.
