Whole Foods gets intellectual in Chicago
Whole Foods Market continues its expansion in the Chicago market, opening a store in the city’s Hyde Park neighborhood. It’s the grocer’s 26th Chicagoland location.
Built by Novak Construction, the new 30,000-sq.-ft. store has a "secret society – intellectual theme" that pays homage to the University of Chicago neighborhood locale. Design details include a dark blue and brass color-scheme, the use of walnut wood throughout, and professors' office doors on restroom stalls. University symbolism is embedded in the décor.
The project scope also included installing a sophisticated mechanical system with fluid coolers, VRFs and air handlers.
The underground parking garage and the apartment complex above the store were designed by famed Chicago architect, Jeanne Gang.
