Jones Lang LaSalle awarded 43,000 s/f project management and construction assignment for IHS restack/renovation

Jones Lang LaSalle has been awarded the contract to provide project and construction management services for the IHS Inc. 43,000 s/f office restack and renovation project at 55 Cambridge Parkway. The customized interior on floors six and seven will provide offices for several IHS operations including IHS Cambridge Energy Research Associates. The space will be converted from a dense office environment to an open floor layout to enhance workflow efficiency. Highlights of the build out, valued at $2 million, include: a central reception area, an all colleagues conference room with state-of-the-art audio visual capabilities, a television studio, employee café, open office areas, a consolidation of IHS information technology capability, some hard walled perimeter and interior offices, and several internal meeting rooms. Fast track phased construction has begun with completion scheduled for February 2011. Jones Lang LaSalle's project and development services team is led by vice president and project executive Tom O'Connor, with Melisa Marcotte serving as project manager. The construction team is comprised of project executive Steven Wassersug, senior construction manager Josh Hines, senior superintendent Nick Lupo, and senior estimator Cadman Corbett. IA/Interior Architects of Denver is the project architect and Syska Hennessey Group of Cambridge is the engineer. According to O'Connor: "It is a privilege to be chosen by IHS to provide both project and construction management. We look forward to delivering high quality space within a very aggressive timeline by leveraging the collaborative efforts of both of our service lines."
