Sullivan Center was designed by renowned Chicago architect Louis Henri Sullivan and is considered to be one of the most important structures of early modern architecture in the nation. The building was constructed in 1899, designated a national and city historic landmark in 1970 and restored in phases from 2001 - 2011.

To the onlooker, attention is immediately drawn to the aspects which give the building its Landmark status: the cast iron ornamentation which adorns the first two floors; the horizontal effect, created by the alignment of the large "Chicago windows"; and the cylindrical main entry rotunda which rounds the corner of State and Madison Streets. The ironwork represents some of the most famous art of its kind in the world and best illustrates Sullivan's ability to transform iron into lace.

Sullivan Center is in the Green Building Council's LEED for Existing Building's Program. The goal of LEED EB is to maximize operational efficiency while minimizing environmental impacts.
