This five-floor tenant improvement project for the corporate headquarters of Cliffs Natural Resources was completed in 16 weeks. The project includes a global teleconferencing suite, a multiple-room conference center, an information technology network operations center for global operations with precision HVAC and UPS power requirements, and multiple employee collaboration areas on each floor. Throughout the open-ceilinged office, cafes, corridors, and huddle rooms are surrounded by stone walls, stained wood ceilings, painted MDF walls, and specialty AV (including telepresence rooms).
The build-out was completed while tenant suites above and below the construction areas were occupied, and while other parts of the building were also under construction. The 32nd floors was built out in four weeks, creating a swing space in which employees could work while the 34th floor was under construction.
The project schedule was maintained specifically in order to coordinate Cliffs' lease end dates at other sites. To accommodate the tight timeframe, certain bid packages were released prior to 100 percent construction documents, which brought subcontractors on board early in an open-book partnership
