About the program
Step inside SCB’s Chicago headquarters and explore the inner workings of one of the city’s leading architecture and design firms. Located on the 25th floor of the iconic AMA Building, a Chicago modernist landmark designed by Mies van der Rohe, SCB’s studio overlooks the Chicago River with sweeping views of downtown Chicago and Lake Michigan. See where ideas take shape, from sketches and models to large-scale projects that transform skylines, neighborhoods, and campuses across the country. This guided tour will introduce visitors to the spaces where architects and designers collaborate every day. Guests will see how the studio environment reflects SCB’s design ethos: open, connected, and inspired by craft and detail. Along the way, participants will learn about the firm’s history, some of its current projects, and how SCB is shaping the future of cities through sustainable, people-centered design. Whether you are an architecture enthusiast, a student, or simply curious about how design happens, Inside the Studio: SCB Headquarters offers a behind-the-scenes look at the creative process that drives one of Chicago’s most innovative design practices.
