Leonard Koroski, FAIA is Principal with the Chicago architectural firm Goettsch Partners. His work ranges from planning projects to corporate and commercial office buildings, hotels, academic and institutional facilities, and renovation and preservation.
Over the past 20 years, Leonard Koroski has developed a specialization in renovation and preservation that focuses on a triple bottom line to work within a developer’s pro forma for a strong investment while creating energy efficient places that provide a stewardship within a broader sustainable community.
Starting from his role as a Chicago Architecture Foundation docent during high school, where he presented Chicago’s architecture, and witnessed the demolition of Louis Sullivan’s Old Chicago Stock Exchange, Leonard developed a belief that for buildings to be preserved, we must help them remain appreciated and viable. In stewardship, there is the opportunity to improved energy performance, life safety, indoor air quality, and optimizing lighting working with the historic fabric. Integrating these elements, we can assist these buildings in remaining appreciated, and relevant. They can support themselves in the marketplace - be sustainable.
