CHICAGO – (December 1, 2022) — Global architecture firm Goettsch Partners (GP) has completed 320 South Canal, Chicago’s healthiest office tower and the latest in a series by the same architect, developer and contractor team that focus on tenant health and wellness. Located across the street from Chicago Union Station with close connections to transit and the major expressways, the 51-story tower totals 1,740,000 gross square feet and includes a conference center, fitness center, restaurant, to-go market, branch bank, and a cocktail lounge in an adjacent structure, as well as parking for 324 cars/electric vehicles and 114 bicycles. The 2.2-acre site also features The Green at 320, one of the largest privately owned public parks in Chicago. The project was developed by Riverside Investment & Development with Convexity Properties and built by Clark Construction. The same team of GP, Riverside and Clark also delivered the city’s Bank of America Tower in 2020 and 150 North Riverside office building in 2017. All three 50-story towers are certified or precertified LEED Gold, WELL Platinum and WiredScore Platinum. Together, they total nearly 5 million square feet completed in the last 10 years.
芝加哥—（2022 年 12 月 1 日）— 全球性建筑设计公司，GP建筑设计有限公司（GP）完成了位于南运河街320号的芝加哥最健康办公楼，这是由同一建筑师、开发商和承包商团队打造的一系列关注租户身心健康的新项目。这座 51 层的办公楼位于芝加哥联合车站对面，与公共交通和主要高速公路紧密相连，总建筑面积为161,650平方米（ 1,740,000 平方英尺），包括会议中心、健身中心、餐厅、外卖市场、银行分行和在毗邻副楼中的鸡尾酒廊，拥有可停放 324 辆汽车/电动车和 114 辆自行车的停车场，以及占地 2.2 英亩的设有芝加哥最大私人公园之一的开放绿色空间“320公园”。该项目由滨河投资&开发公司与Convexity地产共同开发，由克拉克施工公司建造。GP和滨河开发以及克拉克施工作为同一团队还于 2020 年交付了美国银行大厦，2017 年交付了北滨河街150号办公楼。这三座 50 层高的建筑均获得了 LEED 金级、WELL 白金和 WiredScore 白金认证或预认证。在过去 10 年中，GP与滨河开发以及克拉克施工共完成了近 46万平方米（500 万平方英尺）的建筑项目。
Well before the Covid era, GP held a longstanding commitment to tenant health and wellness. At 320 South Canal, design strategies emphasized improving occupant wellbeing, with the building achieving LEED Gold certification, WELL Platinum precertification and WiredScore Platinum certification. The tower incorporates innovative technology to maximize occupant health, mitigate risk related to harmful environmental factors, and enhance tenant operational efficiency. Select features include advanced air monitoring and air filtration systems, bipolar air ionization, fresh air delivery that is six times the national code standard, a tenant engagement app that provides a real-time display of air quality metrics, antimicrobial fixtures, and touchless technology throughout, as well as access to outdoor terraces for fresh air and the many outdoor spaces and activities provided by The Green.
早在新冠疫情前，GP就长期致力于租户的身心健康的考虑。在南运河街320 号，设计策略更加强调以改善使用者周围建筑环境为基础导向，该建筑获得了 LEED 金级认证、WELL 白金预认证和 WiredScore 白金认证。塔楼采用了创新技术，最大限度地提高使用者的身心健康，降低其与有害环境因素相关的风险，并提高了租户的运营效率。精选的措施功能包括先进的空气监测和过滤系统、双极空气电离、国家规范标准六倍的新风输送、实时显示空气质量指标的租户参与应用程序、抗菌装置和全程无接触技术等等 ，并提供了户外露台为租户得以呼吸新鲜空气，且公园也提供了许多户外空间和活动场所。
Designed as a stepped, three-tiered building, 320 South Canal is oriented in the north-south direction along the east side of its site. The east face of the building aligns with the property line, reinforcing the urban street wall defined by the historic Union Station headhouse on the adjacent block. The three setbacks reflect the internal organization of the building, with efficient, column-free floor plates that cater to a variety of tenants. Large terraces at each setback offer outdoor amenity spaces with expansive views of downtown. The building’s subtly folded façade creates an ever-changing texture that reinforces the verticality of the building. At street level, east and west façades express V-shaped structural transfers that open up the ground floor. The resulting effect is that the park becomes an integral part of the building, and the building serves as an extension of the park.
南运河街320 号为三阶梯式建筑，沿场地东侧呈南北方向。建筑的东面与地界线对齐，加强了与对面历史悠久的联合车站共同定义的城市街道墙。三阶梯式内退反映了建筑内部组织，高效和无柱的平面迎合了各种租户的需求。每个内退处都有着大露台提供户外的舒适空间，可享受市中心的广阔景色。建筑巧妙折叠的立面营造出不断变化的质感，强化了建筑的垂直度。在街道层面，东立面和西立面呈现出打开底层的V字形结构转换，由此产生的效果使绿化空间成为建筑不可分割的一部分，而建筑则作为绿化空间的延伸。
“It is our belief that how a building meets the ground is more important than how it meets the sky,” says James Goettsch, FAIA, chairman and co-design director of GP. “It is where people engage and interact with the building, not just the tenants but the general public.”
“我们相信，建筑物与地面的接触方式比它与天空的接触方式更为重要，”美国建筑师协会高级会员、GP 主席兼联合设计总监詹姆斯·盖驰先生说“这是人们与建筑物互动和相互关联的地方，不仅是租户本身，还有面向大众的城市人群。”
Early in the planning process, it was decided the tower should be taller with a smaller footprint, allowing most of the site to be dedicated as a park. The 1.5-acre park space, designed by GP in collaboration with landscape architect Confluence, is organized around a 10,000-square-foot oval-shaped lawn. A curved path defines the main pedestrian circulation from the northeast to southwest corners of the site, promoting connections between the station and the evolving West Loop. In addition to the central lawn, the park includes a variety of smaller spaces that, together, allow for a variety of outdoor activities, both programmed and spontaneous, as well as pop-up retail space at the north side—all set against the backdrop of the iconic Union Station headhouse. Within The Green, the traffic and noise of the city are tuned out, and the park becomes an urban oasis. It was important that The Green feels welcoming to building tenants as well as the general public, allowing people to enjoy the park through all times of the day and in all seasons.
在规划的早期就决定了该座塔楼应该更高，而占地面积应该更小，以便将大部分场地用作绿色公园。这个占地 1.5 英亩的公园空间由 GP 与景观设计师 Confluence 合作设计，围绕着930平方米（ 10,000 平方英尺）的椭圆形草坪布置。一条弯曲的路径定义了从场地东北角到西南角的主要行人流线，促进了车站与市中心卢普区之间的联系。除了中央草坪外，公园还包括多个独立的小绿色空间，各种团队和自发临时的户外活动都可以使用这些空间以及北侧的跳跃式商业空间，所有的这些空间都以标志性的联合车站作为背景。在公园中，城市的交通和噪音都被隔绝了，变成了城市绿洲。公园对建筑租户和公众来说都很受欢迎，让人们在不同季节和每日不同的时段中都能享受到公园的乐趣。
The 320 South Canal building is anchored by Montreal-based BMO Financial Group as their new U.S. headquarters. Other tenants include law firms Chapman & Cutler and Faegre Drinker, as well as recently signed tenants Skadden Arps and the National Futures Association, among others.
