CONTRACT SUSTAINABLE WALL PROJECTS

Role: DIRRT designer for Desks Inc. (Professional Services Interior Designer 2005-2007)

Project: Exelon, 2006 - 2007

AI generated:

The Exelon Headquarters Project in Chicago is a landmark commercial interior development that stands as one of the largest and most sustainable office transformations globally. Utilized extensively during its build-out, the modular interior systems by DIRTT Environmental Solutions enabled the project to achieve elite environmental milestones while accommodating massive corporate infrastructure.

Project Overview

  • Scale & Transformation: The massive undertaking covered 10 floors of office space spanning approximately 250,000 square feet in Chicago's Loop.

  • DIRTT Integration: A cross-functional team led the installation of over 7,000 lineal feet of DIRTT sustainable, custom modular walls.

  • Sustainability Milestone: The project achieved LEED Platinum CI (Commercial Interiors) status, making it the largest commercial office space globally to secure this ranking at the time.

  • Execution: Designed and managed locally via regional partnerships (such as Desks Inc.), the build leveraged DIRTT's proprietary ICE software. This platform mapped out exact pricing and physical configurations prior to precision manufacturing off-site, driving down field waste to nearly zero.
