What does it take to reinvent a Chicago icon?

On October 14, hear directly from the Google leaders helping shape the next chapter of the Thompson Center.

The conversation will go beyond the renderings to explore the thinking and decisions behind the transformation, including:
  • Preserving an icon: How Google is honoring Helmut Jahn’s postmodern design while reimagining the building for the future
  • Rethinking the workplace: The vision for creating modern, flexible and high-performance spaces
  • Keeping the atrium public: How the signature 17-story atrium will remain a destination in the heart of the Loop
  • Investing in Chicago: What the project signals about Google’s commitment to downtown and the next generation of local talent
Be there for an inside look at a project poised to reshape one of Chicago’s most recognizable buildings.
