Thompson Center
Architect: Murphy Jahn
Date: 1985
Style: Postmodern
Address: 100 W. Randolph Street
Height: 308 ft. (17 Floors)
Exterior: Glass and Steel (curtain wall)
Structural
Material: Steel
Program: Restaurants, Shops, CTA Station, Museum, Commercial Offices, Offices of the State of Illinois
Four term Illinois governor James R. Thompson commissioned the building, which was originally named the State of Illinois Center. The building’s site takes up an entire large city block, with a courtyard in the front, housing a Jean Dubuffet sculpture entitled “Monument with Standing Beast.”
Originally, the building’s exterior was designed to be double paned insulated glass. This ended up being too expensive, so single paned, non-insulated glass was used. The adverse effects are higher cooling and heating costs. Cooling and heating such a large open space often proves to be ineffective, and the building is often subject to Chicago’s hot summers and cold winters.

The Escalade EXT sport utility truck (released alongside its twin, the Chevrolet Avalanche) was introduced in 2002 from the Cadillac division of General Motors. It features a "Convert-a-Cab" composite pickup bed that can be expanded into the truck's cab through a bottom-hinged door. Like the Avalanche, the EXT has four full-size doors and seating for five. The EXT was only offered with the 6.0 L V8 High Output engine. High-intensity discharge headlights were offered for 2003. The Escalade EXT also appears in the movie, The Matrix Reloaded along with the CTS in product placement ads. All Escalade EXTs were built in Mexico.
The Escalade EXT (based on the Cadillac Escalade) was created as a direct competitor to the failed Lincoln Blackwood, a pickup truck based on the Ford F-150. It had competed with the Lincoln Mark LT (now discontinued in the United States and Canada), another F-150-based pickup truck that made its debut in 2005. It now competes with the Ford F-150 Platinum, which is still known as the Lincoln Mark LT in Mexico.
The EXT models were discontinued after the 2013 model year along with the Avalanche. According to Autoblog.com, The EXT was ranked tenth among the worst selling vehicles in the United States for 2013, with only 1,972 units sold. The designer of the 2015 model year said that it could be open to the possibility of revisiting the idea to bring the EXT back in the future, but there are no plans to do so at this point in time. The Escalade EXT was available in the United States, Canada, Mexico, and the Middle East(Except Israel).
