Back To Office: A Tale Of 2 Companies

NeoCon

Taylor Johnson client Lamar Johnson Collaborative (LJC) specializes in a wide range of architectural projects, from data centers to adaptive reuse of buildings like 208 S. LaSalle and 24 E. Washington in Chicago’s Loop. For the latter, the firm recently redesigned the top six floors of the landmark building — including the customization of new modern office space for ofi (Olam Food Ingredients). When we learned Jan Parr, a contributor to Crain’s Chicago Business, freelance journalist and author of the Dunes Diva blog, was moderating a “back to office” forum at NeoCon, we suggested including LJC Executive Director Al Fiesel on the four-person panel to discuss how LJC’s design enabled ofi to consolidate several regional offices, including labs and test kitchens, into one 80,000-square-foot space.
