Thornton Tomasetti, the international engineering firm, has been recognized by the Urban Land Institute with a 2014 Vision Award in the historic redevelopment category for its work on Metropolitan Tower at 310 South Michigan Avenue in Chicago, Illinois. Thornton Tomasetti served as the structural engineer, while Pappageorge/Haymes Partners was the architect on the $70 million project.
Another Thornton Tomasetti project, Shoreland, a former Jazz Age hotel turned residential tower at 5454 S. Shore Drive in Chicago, was also a finalist for the Vision Award for historic redevelopment.
