Harpo Studios is made up of a campus setting of buildings in Chicago's West Side. The No. 2 building to join the campus was completely renovated with a modern data center and high tech conference room.

I decided to install a run of smaller workstations that would be open for visitors, guests and were quickly set up with a computer and phone.
