Chicago Scenic
to move into facility twice current size
After
the first of the year, CSSI will move to Chicago's Goose Island,
almost tripling its current space to 140,000 sq. ft. CSSI will initially
take on 100,000 sq. ft., leasing out the extra space. One of the
building's best features is that the extra space will allow for
future expansion.
Each
department in the shop will see their respective space grow by 50%
to 100%. In addition, three large set-up bays (two at 50' wide x
30' high x 250' long and one at 50' wide x 30' high x 250' long)
with bridge cranes and plenty of natural light will help jobs flow
better through the shop.
The existing
work spaces will be reconfigured to meet Chicago Scenic's unique
needs. A major change in office layout will facilitate total project
team integration. Pods with work areas for a unit manager and two
project managers, a conference area, and work stations for the leadmen
assigned to the unit's projects, along with plan files and computer
stations will be created adjacent to the shop floor. This arrangement
will allow for improved communication between the production teams
and shop personnel.
Chicago Scenic's
purchase of this building was made possible through the use of Industrial
Revenue Bonds provided through the City of Chicago's Department
of Planning and Development. Please be sure to note that our current
address and phone number should be used until further notice. Details
on the mailing address, phone and fax numbers will be announced
soon.
