New Scene at Chicago Scenic
Since Chicago Scenic moved to our new location on Goose Island, CSSI Designer Ryan Hall, supervised by Design Manager Tom Ryan, has been involved in design projects to make the conference rooms, lobby, and administrative areas more functional and representative of the highly creative and skilled staff at CSSI. President Bob Doepel continues to make plans for in?house upgrades to the facility as the production schedule allows. Gary Heitz is the project manager and Mike Zaremba is the job lead.

The ongoing project includes a workstation made specifically for the storage and assembly of new marketing materials (see Spotlight on Marketing section). The area includes a long multi-tiered faux-granite countertop for easy assembly; specifically designed storage spaces that allow project profiles, company resumes, and other information to be accessed and assembled in a logical progression; and cork-covered, curved-faced overhead storage cabinets with recessed task lighting.

Another phase consists of developing a conference and presentation room in the lower level of the building. The focus of the room will be a stunning six-foot-wide by 12-foot-long conference table. The new table will accommodate twelve to fourteen people and is designed with a CNC-routed inlay of the company logo showcasing specialty materials and finishes.
Other elements of the new conference room include a more intimate seating area with couches and chairs set apart from the formal meeting area, traditional and electronic media presentation areas, and a large glass block window to allow natural light in from the lobby.
The final phase of the project will be adding new décor in the lobby. Using a wide variety of materials representative of all our shops, the lobby will house a gallery that highlights our company’s capabilities.
