Jeff Edeus is Chief Engineer at 30 West Monroe; he joined the team in February 2012. His focus has been on construction as Mike has done an outstanding job maintaining equipment and Brendan and Billy have handled tenant requests. If you happen to see Mike or Jeff in the building, feel free to introduce yourself! Jeff says the diversity of the tenants and the entire building staff makes the building a great place to work. The owner’s commitment to energy conservation also makes his job rewarding. Jeff was born and raised in Orland Park and currently resides in Mokena. He went to school at Southern Illinois University and started his career at 300 S. Riverside Plaza. He enjoys golf and whatever puts a smile on his son’s face! He loves cavatelli from Tufano’s, the Hawks, Sox, and Bears, and he once got a hole-in-one.
Mike Quinlan, Assistant Chief Engineer, joined the 30 West Monroe team in March. His responsibilities include assisting the chief engineer with overseeing construction projects and operating and maintaining building equipment and systems. Mike loves that 30 West Monroe is a historical building; it was the first high-rise building constructed after World War II. Most importantly, he enjoys working with all of the people from every department that make up such a great team. Mike is from Mokena and graduated from Triton College. He recently participated in a recreational volleyball league and also enjoys playing golf and spending quality time with his wife and three children. Mike and his wife are organizers of an annual fundraiser held every October to raise money for DUP15q Alliance. Their son, Gavin, is affected by Duplication 15q Syndrome, which is a rare chromosomal abnormality.

Have you had your personal consultation with Workspring yet? The first of its kind in Chicago, Workspring was brought into Inland Steel to be a hosted extension of your office space. What does it mean to have a hosted extension of your office? Research shows that 50% of the time your space is too small, too big or not designed for the work you need to get done. We also see collaborative consumption* as the way of the future. Workspring provides the extra space you need, when you need it. It’s a flexible and economical solution for Inland Steel Building tenants. We offer memberships for individuals and teams and can host your meetings and events. Plus, as a tenant of the Inland Steel Building, you’ll enjoy special pricing and exclusive invitations to Workspring’s educational and networking events. How have some tenants and members used Workspring as an extension of their office? • To host meetings, conveniently in the same building, when meeting rooms are booked • Turning their conference room into a team space, and utilizing a meeting room at Workspring only when you need it • To hold interviews in a private, easy to access space • To make customer calls in a secure, private space when calling in an open plan environment would be too disruptive • To hold training sessions, at a highly hosted offsite location when focus really matters • To hold critical client meetings in a state of the art, impressive setting • To conduct depositions or sensitive legal strategy sessions, in a safe, secure and private space • To entertain clients or celebrate major team milestones
Every tenant’s needs are different, so schedule a personal consultation today. We’ll help you address specific pain points and develop flexible solutions.
