Construction – Page 6 – Building The Godfrey

Meet You At The Godfrey

Construction is plugging along for our meeting and event spaces, we’re excited to share that the 4th floor meeting and event space portion of our I|O Urban Roofscape encompasses 10,000 square feet. The indoor and outdoor space consists of 15,000 square feet. Whether planning a small executive retreat for 10, a training seminar for 100, or a reception for 750, we’re pleased to offer a chic and sophisticated event setting. Imagine the possibilities… perhaps a glamorous cocktail party with panoramic views of the Chicago skyline? Or a cutting-edge sales presentation in one of our two state-of-the-art conference rooms?

Below are construction photos of part of our indoor meeting and event space:

Urban Greenery

Our sidewalks along Huron and Lasalle are now finished, complete with miniature beds of flowers and trees. We think they add a nice splash of green to the concrete, what do you think?

Soundproof, Check!

We just love every little detail that goes into the planning of a hotel – one no less important than the next. Today we’re happy to share the latest update from our #SiteVisit – the soundproofing on the fourth floor.

Why? Well we’re glad you asked. Once we’re open, the fourth floor will be the happening home to I|O Urban Roofscape. This swanky spot is a captivating escape for guests and Chicagoans and we certainly will be mindful of any noise.

To accommodate that, we are installing acoustical suspensions in the wall that will act as an effective sound buffer. The springs actually absorb additional sound.

The high tech suspension system will decrease and remove any noise or music, leaving the floor above quite peaceful.

More Marble – More Shiny, Glorious Marble

Our lobby is bound to be a showstopper, if we do say so ourselves. We previously blogged about the marble installation in this post. Today, during a #SiteVisit, we saw the new additions and more marble.

The floors are nearly complete, along with the lobby’s check in desk.

Take a look at the photos below:

Demolition Derby

We’re doing a little (read: not little at all) demo work to replace the existing sidewalk on the Huron facing side of the hotel to make way for a new and improved entrance:
