We are pleased to welcome back to the Epstein family project architect Lori Chandler, AIA. Lori found her way back to the Epstein nest from Hill Architectural Systems, an exterior wall metal panel subcontractor and a division of The Hill Group. Prior to Hill, Lori worked at Epstein for nearly 8 years with 3 additional years working as a sub-consultant for Epstein as part of the McCormick Place West Expansion Team.

In Lori's architecture career she has worked in the fields of healthcare, retail, commercial, restaurant, casino, hotel, and manufacturing. Lori received her Master of Architecture and Master of Science in Civil Engineering in 2001 and her Bachelor of Science in Architectural Studies in 1999 all from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (Go Illini!).

Lori is originally from the Cleveland area and is a proud Buckeye fan (OH .. IO!). She is currently living in Arlington Heights with her husband Jason (also an Epsteiner!) and three children ages 5, 3 and 1. She enjoys foreign travel, playing with her kids, going to the gym, rollerblading, model building, painting and pastels, sewing, Stephen King novels and gourmet chocolate making. (Trust us Lori's confections are Mendl's worthy! BTW that was a Grand Budapest Hotel reference, our pick for best picture)

Lastly Lori we are so happy to have you back and can't wait for you to bring in some more of your delicious chocolates!
