One of the most ambitious projects ever undertaken at the Chicago Botanic Garden, the renovation of the Education Building into the Regenstein Center, transformed the functionality of the largest, most prominent, and iconic building on the Garden Campus. The logistical and engineering considerations of the job required maximum communication and cooperation of the owner, design team, and constructors. The finished product was an elegant and subtle recasting of Barnes original building design into a multi-use venue for the School of the Botanic Garden, special events, and exhibitions. The entire project, which under normal circumstances would require an 18-month schedule, was completed in only 13 months.
