Its world-famous lobby extends all the way through the block, with a giant entrance hall at Monroe Street and a full-height atrium in the link between the AT&T and USG towers, and both towers share a common appearance. The lobby is one of the most lavish and sumptuous in Chicago, decorated with patterned marble floors and walls, and featuring stylized lighting fixtures.

The AT&T Corporate Center was designed by Adrian D. Smith, FAIA, RIBA Design Partner at Skidmore, Owings & Merrill LLP.

The official address of AT&T Corporate Center is: 227 West Monroe Street, Chicago, IL 60606
