ISSUE 19 – SEPTEMBER - OCTOBER 2015
Roof Deck Soon To Be A RealityIf you haven’t heard, we are building a roof deck for your use! Over the past few weeks, we have made a lot of progress on the deck space which will feature a game room and trellis-covered full bar for three-season use. The existing roof structure has been demolished to accept new decking, concrete curbs have been poured for the bar area, the outdoor media wall is constructed, posts and covering have been raised around the existing stairs and new posts for the exterior railing system have been drilled and secured. We have also completed the mechanical, electrical and plumbing rough-in as well as drywall for the restrooms. We are currently working on the trellis over the bar area and installing new window washing tiebacks.
While we continue along with our Roof Deck construction, we greatly appreciate your cooperation and look forward to providing another amenity for tenants in the building later this year.
Even Our Paper Is GreenAt the CBOT Building™, we are focused on being environmentally friendly. Our maintenance and janitorial teams “think green” when purchasing supplies. Almost 95% of CBOT Building™ janitorial paper products meet the GreenSeal® certification. GreenSeal® promotes a sustainable economy by reducing the environmental footprint of products and services. We contribute to this effort by purchasing these certified products to provide a safe, healthy, and comfortable environment for our tenants.
Enjoy Fall With Help From Your ConciergeFall is one of the best times of the year in Chicago! Take advantage of fall events like beer tastings, pumpkin patches, and haunted houses. Let your concierge help you provide your staff with hot apple cider on chilly days or find sweet treats for Halloween. Don’t forget your tickets to the Bears, Blackhawks, and MLB World Series games! Contact Emily Krieger, your CBOT Building Concierge, at (312) 605-9196 or [email protected].
Did You Know?The Chicago Board of Trade Building™ owns and operates its own Meet Me Room (MMR). We have invested heavily in this telecommunications infrastructure in order to provide our tenants with the latest fiber optic technology. As the telecommunications industry trends from copper cabling toward fiber optics, the CBOT Building™ has taken essential steps to bring you the latest technology. Fiber optics provides faster data transmits, lower power consumption and generally proves to be more cost effective for businesses. Fiber cross connects can be leased in any route from the MMR to any control point in the building. For more information on leasing fiber, please contact the Office of the Building at (312) 435-7180 or use our 360Facility system to enter a work order ticket.

Boy Scouts Visit CBOT Building™ GlenStar contributed to the growth of the Boy Scouts of America, Pathway to Adventure Council’s STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) Program in August. The CBOT Building™ hosted 30 Scouts throughout the day who attended sessions run by building professionals on the topics of Electricity, Engineering and Search & Rescue. The Scouts learned about the different disciplines and heard from many professionals during their time with us. At the end of the day, each Scout completed the requirements needed to earn a merit badge for sessions they attended.
With the changes in the trading industry, the Pathway to Adventure Council teamed up with John Lothian to create a local STEM Program, properly named Trading Tech 300. The purpose of the program is to allow companies the opportunity to mentor kids and to teach them about the importance of STEM in a fun and engaging way. Leveraging the many disciplines and curriculum within the Merit Badge System, companies are able to provide a unique, hands-on learning experience for local youth. We, at the CBOT Building™ were very honored to be part of the success of Trading Tech 300 and enjoyed spending the day showing Boy Scouts how Engineering, Electricity and Search & Rescue are applied in an urban setting.
Additionally, the CBOT Building™ will once again be hosting the famous LaSalle Street Event this November 19th. This will be a special year for LaSalle as it will begin a new tradition of recognizing the participation of organizations that help to catapult this market’s STEM growth. We hope you will stop by the atrium and learn how Microsoft and the Center for the Advancement of Science in Space (CASIS), along with other Trading Tech 300 participating companies, are changing the way youth learn about STEM.
