ILLINOIS GOVENOR’S

SUSTAINABILITY AWARD

Presented by the Illinois Sustainability Tech-

nology Center, AMA Plaza was named win-

ners of the 2014 Illinois Governor’s Sustain-

ability Award, for implementing innovative

sustainability practices.

Hammer credits the hard work ofher team

and their dedication to not just upgrading,

but finding better ways to operate the build-

ing.

“It’s a reflection of the management team

and the engineering team that’s in place at

the building,” she says.”We’re always looking

for ways to make our operation of the asset

that we’re responsible for more marketable

and less expensive to run.”

“We all worked together,” saysHammer . “We

all had a voice in the design and the imple-

mentation of each of the aspects of the proj-

ect. We met weekly to go over everything. It

was very important to have a close relation-

ship between all parties involved, from con-

sultants and project managers, to the people

who actually implemented the work - the

mechanical and construction companies

that helped us with that.”
