Burke Warren MacKay & Serritella extended its lease in the Mies-designed IBM Building — now 330 North Wabash — and used the move to consolidate space and support a more mobile, nimble workforce.
Private offices were standardized at 135 square feet, with glass fronts that extend daylight from the building's floor-to-ceiling curtain wall deep into the floor plate. A small number of existing partner offices were reduced in size and given matching glass fronts, so light and transparency read uniformly throughout.
Legal-assistant workstations were reworked in clusters of two and four around current technology and ergonomic storage, and the office gained conference and deposition rooms built for virtual pre-trial participation, with AV upgraded for a consistent interface. Completed with Tilton Kelly Bell.
Floor plan — 42 perimeter offices, 31 interior offices, 29 legal-assistant stations, and client-facing and internal/deposition conference rooms — with the workstation typicals: an open collaborative cluster with shared storage and printing, and a higher-privacy variant that trades assembly space for storage.
Standardized 135-square-foot attorney offices and glass-fronted conference rooms — office-front elevations and typicals carry daylight from the floor-to-ceiling curtain wall deep into the plate.
