With continuing expansion on the horizon, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) chose our Client Direct Services with our extensive office design-build experience to build their new headquarters in suburban Chicago.

"Our new headquarters is more than just an office building. It is where we can pursue the AAP's mission together." – Karen Remley, M.D., M.B.A., M.P.H., FAAP, CEO Executive Vice President, American Academy of Pediatrics

The AAP is a professional membership organization of 66,000 primary care pediatricians, pediatric medical sub-specialists and pediatric surgical specialists dedicated to the health, safety and well-being of infants, children, adolescents and young adults.
