JPMorgan Chase Corporate Renovation

HEAPY is the Designer of Record for the complete renovation of the CORPORATE CENTER for JPMorgan Chase. This building is the 2nd largest single-tenant corporate office building in the United States behind the Pentagon, totaling 1,461,000 SF. HEAPY has provided and continues to provide electrical, HVAC, plumbing, and fire protection design for this $320,000,000 project. The project has been executed in MULTIPLE PHASES while maintaining an occupied and operational building with more than 10,000 current employees.

The 111,000 SF amenities section of the building includes a large conference center complete with advanced audio-visual and lighting as well as HVAC, Plumbing, and Fire Protection upgrades to accommodate the modification. The conference center is comprised of many differing-sized conference rooms and training rooms with various levels of audio-visual support tailored to the needs of each user. Spaces vary from a board room and huddle rooms up to an expansive Multi-purpose room with a capacity in excess of 600. HEAPY also utilized a pressurized raised floor cooling system in the A/V rack room (supporting the Conference Center Multiple Purpose Room).

The remaining 1,351,000 SF of the multi-floor office space is broken into four main wings with four additional secondary wings flanking a main atrium space. The building improvements create a more open, efficient, and collaborative workspace with state-of-the-art features to create an engaging, high-performance workplace.

INFORMATION SECURITY is paramount at this international banking headquarters. A closed network was implemented for security, as well as a double interlock security access system for all technology rooms. All Automated Temperature Controls and Lighting Controls must be stand alone and are not permitted to transmit outside the complex.

While the building is not pursing LEED accreditation, HEAPY designed the building with SUSTAINABILITY in mind. Examples include the integration of daylight harvesting into a Lutron Lighting controls system, using LED lighting in all spaces, and installing low flow plumbing fixtures to comply with water usage requirements. The project met or exceeded all ASHRAE requirements for heating and cooling.

HEAPY worked in COLLABORATION WITH THE PROJECT TEAM, including designers, owner’s groups, and construction managers and contractors to ensure all goals are met for the project. In addition, our team endeavored to make the owner aware of all foreseen and potential risks related to project construction. All members of the team used the BIM 360 C4R Platform.
