This project is also a nominee for the Illinois Real Estate Journal Project of the Year and the Engineering News Record Regional Best of the Best projects. The Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Illinois Morgan Park Solution Center received the CBC Merit Award for Interior Build-Out and the Chicago Real Estate Award for Impact Project of the Year. All of this was achieved during the COVID-19 shutdowns. The building was transformed through high-quality design and construction efforts that include with the addition of two courtyards that were installed by cutting open the roof in the middle of winter and now flood the space with light. The team revived an abandoned big-box retail space into a vibrant office and community center while also helping to create 550 jobs – with nearly 70% of the people who fill those jobs to-date residing in the surrounding community. When the Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Illinois Morgan Park Solution Center opened its doors in August 2020, Health Care Service Corporation President and CEO Maurice Smith said, “We believe in the power of community and how collective action will drive long-term meaningful change for our members and employees where they live and work.” Pepper Construction, zpd+a architects and the extended team are proud of the work they did to bring this project to life. And in a year like no other, Pepper Construction also received awards for some very special projects.īlue Cross and Blue Shield of Illinois Morgan Park Solution Center
