Description

Behind the signature round windows on the top floor of the historic Railway Exchange Building is the home of architecture firm Goettsch Partners. With offices in Chicago, Denver and Shanghai, the firm has completed a range of prominent projects across five continents. Local projects include the gravity-defying 150 North Riverside office tower along the Chicago River, the vertically expanded Blue Cross Blue Shield Headquarters, the Northwestern University Ryan Center for the Musical Arts, the Viceroy, Langham and LondonHouse Chicago hotels, the Wrigley Building Renovation, the Union Station Great Hall Restoration, 320 South Canal Tower, Bank of America Tower, and One Chicago.

Staff will take all guests through a guided tour of the space and Goettsch Partners most recent work. During the 15-20min guided tour, groups of 10-20 guests will hear about notable Goettsch Partners projects and global portfolio.

Visitor Experience

All guests will receive a guided tour (10-20 people per tour) of the studio by a GP architect and will get a sneak peek at recent work. There may be a brief wait in the main building lobby as staff cycle guests up to the offices and throughout the space in an orderly fashion.
