U.S. SPOTLIGHT: The Baxter International campus, an Iconic Chicago-area office park, is at the center of a redevelopment fight.
The Baxter International campus could remain a shining example of mid-century modernist architecture or it could largely become a nondescript logistics terminal.
One is that the iconic central facilities building, which houses a 700-seat cafeteria, was one of the first buildings in the world to have cable-stayed roof. Tomlinson said the team believed in “pushing the boundaries” through innovation. When it came to the business park, this meant creating a “dynamic campus” where flexibility was the rule.
David Fleener, a Chicago-area architect who is testifying against the redevelopment, said the campus is ideally designed to be “repurposed for many other uses” like a community college, health centre or library. “The main opposition are residential neighbors who do not want a distribution center with 600 to 1,000 trucks coming by every day up and down their streets,” Fleener, a board member of the modernist preservation group DOCOMOMO-Chicago, said.“We added a wing to the executive pavilion and added another garage,” he said.
