Happenings in the Regions

The new Oak Brook Commons area was completed and dedicated in April 2016. This new area
in the Oak Brook Office added a large space to gather for lunch, social events, meeting space

Firm-wide events like staff training, region potlucks and hosting Cal Poly Architecture students
learning about 21 Century Learning Environments have already taken place.
