Description:

 

Built as the headquarters for Ha-Lo, this suburban office building is now home to microphone maker Shure. Sitting next to train tracks, the glassy building is notable for large sunscreens and awnings on the north and south sides of the buildings.

The interior features a large atrium space and top floor, skylit communal spaces. While not accessible, these spaces are visible in the exterior wall's articulation. Recently, Krueck + Sexton added a technology center to the building.
