IDEX Corporation debuted interior construction earlier this month at its global headquarters, 3100 Sanders Road, in Northbrook.

The specialty industrial machinery manufacturer had relocated to Northbrook from Lake Forest.

IDEX, made up of decentralized businesses, has 7,000 employees and manufacturing operations in more than 20 countries. IDEX (NYSE: IEX), founded in 1988, has total company sales of more than $2 billion.

Chicago-based Skender served as general contractor for the project within the 40,000-square-foot headquarters. Located on the third floor of 3100 Sanders Road, the workspace features a mix of private offices, conference rooms and huddle areas, plus a community cafe.

New millwork and a custom reception display to feature IDEX's array of products also were installed.

The building remained open and active throughout construction, requiring extra attention to logistics and safety.

Skender collaborated with architect Harley Ellis Devereaux and engineer Syska Hennessy Group to deliver the project.

One of the components of Skender's interior construction at IDEX Corporation in Northbrook was a modern community cafe in the center of the third-floor space. COURTESY OF SKENDER
