Description

Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill Architecture (AS+GG) designs high-performance, energy-efficient, and sustainable architecture on an international scale, applying their approach to everything from low to mid-rise residential buildings, mixed-use supertall towers, and cultural centers. In July 2018, AS+GG relocated their Chicago studio to the historic Inland Steel building. The 19-story Inland Steel Building was the first tall building to be completed in the Loop after the Great Depression. Its column-free floor layouts and glass and stainless steel exterior make it an iconic building and a Modernist landmark.

Visitor Experience

AS+GG offices are located on the 4th floor (Suite 400) of the Inland Steel Building. From the 30 W. Monroe main entrance, visitors will be escorted through the lobby to the elevators and sent directly to the 4th floor where they can explore the space. Employees will be on hand to answer any questions. Pop-up-style presentations will be given throughout the weekend featuring many of the firm's innovative projects.
