J.C. Anderson is pleased to announce that the firm has completed an office build-out for Network Distribution at 1400 American Lane in Schaumburg.

The project was a comprehensive transformation of the interior space of an existing business office, full floor of Tower 1 and a portion of Tower 2. The initial phase involved the meticulous demolition of non-structural interior walls, ceilings, and MEPs. This set the groundwork for the subsequent construction phase which included installation of new partitions, ceilings, decorative finishes, plumbing fixtures and early delivery of new IDF/MDF rooms. Additionally, there were MEP alterations and modifications to life safety devices to ensure compliance with standards.

This project features custom millwork and switch lite glass film, while the corridor connecting the two spaces is enhanced with specialty baffle lighting and acoustical baffles. These elements not only contribute to the visual appeal but also address acoustic considerations, creating a well-balanced and functional environment. Operable sliding partitions were also installed - this design element adds flexibility to the space, allowing for dynamic configurations, as needed. A standout feature of the project is the incorporation of a comprehensive audio/visual package for the featured conference room.

“An initial delay in permitting posed a significant challenge for our project timeline, however, JCA proposed and executed overtime for the required trades, allowing us to reclaim almost three weeks that had initially been impacted,” said JCA Project Executive Seth Erlich. “This proactive approach ensured that we not only caught up to the original schedule, but also maintained momentum throughout the course of the project.”

The construction team for J.C. Anderson was led by Erlich, Project Manager Nick Sinitzki and Superintendent Darrel Panfil. Nelson provided architectural services.
