Project
A case study in coordination control room upgrades on an accelerated timeline
As ComEd’s owner’s representative, REMS managed two parallel initiatives at the utility’s BPO facility in Lombard, Illinois: a state-of-the-art media wall for the TSO control room and simulator room, and a finish refresh of the aging building. The media wall kicked off in July and was in service by the end of 2025, ahead of its original February 2026 target. When the refresh was funded in late November, we delivered new flooring, paint, and fully remodeled pantries by year end without putting the media wall at risk. By managing the work without a general contractor, we saved about 25% of costs, reinvested the savings in other building improvements, and met the targeted budget.
