AZ Awards 2021 Finalist: Chicago Mercantile ExchangeUntil recently, the lobby of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange was labyrinthine and dark. In May 2020, Kruek Sexton, working with building envelope experts at the Roschmann Group and engineers Thronton Tomasetti, outfitted the atrium with a dramatic new facade – a 7.3 metre – hight wall of curvilinear heat-strengthened glass punctuated with egress doors. Supported by vertical fins, the sinuous skin is sufficiently durable to sustain inclement weather and Chicago´s epic winds. Coupled with a new wall and ceiling system that integrates a brilliant lighting scheme, the project brings fresh life to a once-gloomy lobby and gives something back to the streetscape, too.
