Building Architecture
CommWorks was located at 3800 Golf Road, Rolling Meadows Illinois, in a noted modern architectural style building. The traffic stopping building with its central interior atrium has tilted concrete rectangles in portions and leaning glass-and-concrete front in other parts which gives the appearnce that it has been hit by an earthquake and ready to tip over. The building was originally a 1970s era AT&T facility that was gutted and redesigned in 1999 by Valerio Dewalt Train Associates as featured in the Sept. 1, 2002 USA Weekend Magazine.
