In this episode, Cherise is joined by Yugene Cha, AIA, Partner, and Luke Haas, Senior Associate/Principal at Krueck Sexton Partners in Chicago, Illinois. They discuss the Chicago Mercantile Exchange Center Lobby (or CME Center), also in Chicago. Pedestrian circulation became the primary design generator.

You can see the project here as you listen along.

The CME Center renovation transforms an aging commercial lobby into a vibrant, public-facing environment, repositioning one of Chicago’s largest office complexes for a new generation of tenants and visitors. By studying how people naturally moved through the complex, the new glass envelope traces these movement patterns, its curved geometry guiding visitors through the space while softening the building's scale.

In this episode, Cherise is joined by Jon Williams, Associate at R3A Architecture in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. They discuss the University of Pittsburgh Crawford Hall Renovation, also in Pittsburgh.

You can see the project here as you listen along.

The renovation of Crawford Hall at the University of Pittsburgh reimagines a mid-century academic building for the next generation of life sciences research. As part of the interconnected Clapp/Langley/Crawford complex, the project seeks to transform an aging facility into a contemporary research environment while preserving its role within the broader campus fabric. Central to the intervention is a five-foot building addition that accommodates new MEP risers, creating the capacity necessary to support sophisticated laboratory systems without compromising the building's functionality or spatial organization.
