Lamka Enterprises Construction served as the General Contractor for the custom fabrication and installation of a 16-foot by 32-foot glass atrium at the Versiti Blood Center corporate headquarters in Aurora, Illinois.

The project involved the complete removal of the existing atrium and construction of a new glass atrium above the facility's main lobby. This complex commercial renovation required careful demolition, structural modifications, custom fabrication, steel integration and precision installation.

​

Glass Atrium Renovation Scope

Lamka Enterprises managed the project from demolition through completion, including:

• Safe demolition and removal of the existing atrium

• Custom fabrication of the new glass atrium

• Structural steel integration

• Installation of the new 16' × 32' glass atrium

• Coordination of construction activities

• Project management

• Quality control and safety coordination

Because the new atrium was being installed over the facility's main lobby, careful planning and execution were essential throughout the construction process.

Structural Modifications and Custom Commercial Construction

Replacing an existing atrium with a new custom glass structure required more than standard commercial renovation work. The project required coordination between demolition, structural modifications, custom fabrication and installation to ensure that the new atrium was properly integrated with the existing building.

Lamka Enterprises coordinated the construction process and managed the various phases of the project to deliver the new structure safely, efficiently and with a high level of craftsmanship.

A New Architectural Feature for the Versiti Headquarters

The completed 16' × 32' glass atrium transformed the entrance to the Versiti Blood Center corporate headquarters.

The new atrium provides increased natural daylight while creating a modern architectural feature above the main lobby. The improved entrance creates a more welcoming environment for employees, blood donors and visitors while enhancing the overall appearance of the facility.
