DETAILS:

Situated on the 15th floor of 35 East Wacker Drive is the Chicago Studio for Lamar Johnson Collaborative (LJC). Formerly known as the Jeweler’s Building—a nod to the jewelry trade offices and showrooms originally positioned within—35 East Wacker Drive was designed in the classical revival style. In June of 2019, LJC relocated their growing team from Chicago’s West Loop to their newly designed office along the river.  The office's design blurs the lines between amenity and workplace. A welcoming reception area brings everyone together for formal meetings and impromptu gatherings. Distinct “neighborhoods” provide collaborative workspaces and breakout areas that support the studio environment. Along the perimeter hang large, removable presentation boards, enabling flexibility for repositioning material around the space and encouraging alternative standing collaboration space.

VISITOR EXPERIENCE:

Visitors will receive 10-15 minute guided tours of the 15th floor studio space with great views of the river. Groups of 5-10 people at a time will be sent up in the elevator.
