Project Overview

US Foods Headquarters, Rosemont, Illinois

US Foods is one of America’s great food companies and a leading food service distributor, partnering with approximately 300,000 restaurants and food service operators to help their businesses succeed. With nearly 28,000 employees and more than 70 locations, US Foods provides its customers with broad and innovative food offerings and a comprehensive suite of e-commerce, technology and business solutions. 

In 2017, US Foods engaged Syska Hennessy Group to provide MEP and Technology design services for the renovations of its headquarters in Rosemont, Illinois. The renovation included a complete redesign and update of US Food’s corporate facilities include the adoption of a free address work environment, expanded employee amenities and common areas, and first floor conference center, test kitchen and client demo kitchen. The existing office space was both dated and space inefficient and required an extensive change management effort to modernize the work environment to improve both business performance as well as employee retention.

A half floor prototype model was built, approved, and implemented. The first phase of this renovation included five floors of complete office renovation as well as a dedicated US Foods conference and reception center location on the first floor of the building. A swing space was used during this time. In 2021, a 20,000 sf test and demo kitchen was added to the first floor complete with new MEP infrastructure, allowing US Foods to create and test new products and engage client directly in live demonstrations and presentations.

Additional project features included centralized UPS, new MDF room, supplemental cooling, enhanced employee food service amenities, and upgraded building management systems.
