Predominantly located at the center of the Oakbrook Mall, the Professional Office Building
lacks presence. IDG conducted a design study to accentuate its appearance and
location while elevating and re-branding the mostly vacant building to a premier medical
building.
The façade, entry, and corridors were re-imagined with bright and clean colors. The façade
and main entry was accentuated by adding a wood canopy and black accent pillars to attract guests.
The existing lobby was expanded to provide more lounge and waiting areas
as well as a new digital directory. The idea of re-purposing adjacent retail space to create
an attached café was proposed. To assist visitors, bright colors and images were used as
wayfinding to provide each floor with a unique identity.
