ComEd Breaks Ground On North Side Headquarters

CHICAGO (CBS)--ComEd on Monday started construction on a new 120,000-square-foot facility on Chicago's north side.

The new facility at 3500 N. California Ave. will replace ComEd's 112-year-old building. About 600 employees will work out of the building, according to statement from the power company.

A 10,000 square-foot area included in the building's plans show a STEM learning lab. ComEd says it will be open to the community.
