Today marks a historic milestone with the announcement of the first-ever Quantum Campus in the U.S., located at the former USX site on Chicago’s South Side. Anchored by PsiQuantum, this project is one of the largest economic development initiatives in Chicago’s history. It not only positions the city as a global leader in quantum computing but also revitalizes a 400 acre site that once employed tens of thousands. LJC is the lead designer, working alongside Clayco, CRG, and Related Midwest to bring this prestigious project to life at 8080 South Lakeshore Drive. The Quantum Campus will spearhead quantum research, computing power, and education, spanning 120 contiguous acres within a 440-acre property. Stay tuned for more updates as we advance quantum computing and drive economic growth in the Chicagoland area. https://lnkd.in/gZrtB6i2 #QuantumComputing #Chicago #Innovation #TechRevolution #PsiQuantum #LJC

But above all, thank you to the former residents of the Mill Creek Valley neighborhood for sharing your stories with us. You can experience Pillars of the Valley outside CITYPARK stadium on Market and 22nd Street, and we're beginning construction to expand the greenway with more pillars along Market Street to Harris-Stowe State University this fall! https://lnkd.in/g-kRBD_B

Clayco and its subsidiaries, including LJC, are moving from Overland to Berkley, Missouri, this fall! We are excited to share a sneak peek into the new LJC-designed workplace. LJC’s integrated services in this project include architecture, interior design, and landscape architecture. The final design combines Clayco and its subsidiaries under one roof, reinforces our team’s #IntegratedByDesign methodology, and utilizes adaptive reuse and sustainable design strategies. Skylit atriums and expansive glass walls prioritize daylight and create a dialogue with the vibrant landscape, seamlessly blurring the line between inside and out. The innovative office design prioritizes employee well-being, fosters a vibrant work environment, and underscores our investment in the St. Louis community. 💻 Be sure to check out our website to learn more about the project: https://lnkd.in/ggjM6M3H
