Boeing Building

The Boeing Building (formerly known as the Boeing International Headquarters and previously to that as the Morton-Thiokol International Building) is a 36-floor skyscraper located in the Near West Side of Chicago.

The building was constructed atop active railroad tracks, necessitating a complex structural support system
