Skender Completes 200K-SF Center of Excellence for Walgreens
Skender, serving as general contractor, completed construction last year on the new Walgreens Technology Center of Excellence, a 200,000-square-foot open office space in the redeveloped Old Post Office. The office, which was finished during the COVID-19 shutdown, will eventually house hundreds of employees.
Spanning multiple levels and buildings of the Old Post Office development, the space features a signature staircase, open and private offices, collaboration and conferencing spaces, data rooms, and kitchen and lounge spaces. It increases Walgreens’ presence in Chicago, where the company was founded in 1901.
“The Walgreens Old Post Office project represents collaboration, ingenuity and progress, and was completed during a particularly challenging time for the City of Chicago and world at large,” said Skender VP Brian Bukowski. “
Other key project team members included: Mace as owner’s representatives; Stantec Inc. as architect and engineering firm; and the Walgreens construction and architecture departments.
