On February 1\, 2023\, Adrian Smith was contacted by HRH Prince Alwaleed bin Talal and told that they intended to potentially replace the contractor\, Saudi bin Laden Group\, and restart construction immediately. On a follow-up call\, the prince’s assistant\, Talal Al Maiman\, noted the four “pillars” for the restart: \n\nSoonest restart\nRetain SBG\, if only for the structure\nHire a competent contractor to assist (or take-over) by re-tendering the project\nTime vs. Cost will be a JEC decision\n\nApproximately 24 months later\, Saudi bin Laden Group\, took repossession of the site and recommenced construction on the tower.   Recently returned from their first site visit since 2017; the design team\, Thornton Tomasetti (Structure)\, Stantec (Building Services) and AS+GG (Architecture and Interiors) will bring the audience up to date on progress\, potential updates to the design and the challenges of restarting a project based on construction documents more than a decade old and having the soon to be completed tallest man-made structure on the planet address the design impacts from the existing concrete structure curing for ~8 years\, as well as as-built conditions due to the pause. \nThis meeting will take place at: \nAdrian Smith + Gordon Gill Architecture\n30 West Monroe\, Suite 400\, \nChicago\, IL 60603 \nThe committee meeting will start at the usual time 5:00 pm with drinks and appetizers.

SUMMARY:2026 July The Thompson Center
DESCRIPTION:The Thompson Center – Presentation\n \nPresented by Phillip Castillo\, FAIA\, Executive Vice President / Managing Director at Jahn \nCompleted in 1985\, the James R. Thompson Center was hailed at its grand opening as “A Building for the Year 2000”.  Forty years later\, known simply as Thompson Center\, the building will be repositioned as the Chicago office of Google. Grounded in Jahn’s longstanding commitment to high-performance design and Google’s pursuit of a more sustainable workplace\, Philip Castillo FAIA will discuss the development of the Thompson Center’s new high-performance façade. The presentation will explore how the triple-glazed enclosure maximizes visible light while reducing solar heat gain\, addressing transparency\, reflectance\, and bird-safety performance.  Integral to the design is the integration of a glass screen at the protected landscaped terraces\, demonstrating how modern design interventions can respect the building’s iconic form while reinforcing its dynamic presence within the downtown Chicago urban fabric. \nThis meeting will take place at: \nWaterview \n350 W Wolff Point Plaza\n15th Floor\,\nChicago\, IL 60654 \nThe committee meeting will start at the usual time 5:00 pm in the LaSalle Room with drinks and appetizers. At 6:00 pm we will adjourn for our business meeting and technical presentation. \nDo you have a program you would like to share with the committee\, please feel free to reach out to our program coordinator at Natalya.Lee@stantec.com
