Overview of the Lawsuit Against the Obama Presidential Center
A $40 million lawsuit has been filed by a Chicago-based subcontractor, II in One Concrete, against Thornton Tomasetti, the engineering firm overseeing the construction of the Obama Presidential Center. The lawsuit alleges racial discrimination and claims that the firm imposed unnecessary standards and inspections that led to significant cost overruns and delays.
Key Allegations
Racial Discrimination Claims
The owner of II in One, Robert McGee, asserts that his company faced racial bias, which resulted in excessive work and financial strain.
McGee claims that Thornton Tomasetti accused II in One of underperformance based on race, while non-minority contractors were deemed qualified.
Cost Overruns and Delays
The lawsuit states that changes in rebar spacing and tolerance requirements, differing from standard practices, caused extensive delays and increased costs.
McGee argues that these changes led to unnecessary inspections and paperwork, impacting productivity and resulting in millions in losses.
Responses from Thornton Tomasetti
Thornton Tomasetti has denied the allegations, stating that the delays and cost overruns were due to the subcontractor’s inexperience and performance issues.
The firm claims to have spent significant time addressing problems caused by II in One, including structural issues and compliance failures.
Impact on the Project
The Obama Presidential Center, initially projected to cost $350 million, has seen its budget balloon to $830 million.
The Obama Foundation has stated it is not involved in the lawsuit and maintains that there is no evidence of racial bias in the project management.
This lawsuit highlights ongoing challenges in achieving diversity and equity goals within major construction projects.
Isn’t that horrible prison-looking building close to all the gang related murders? We could have some entertaining thuggery come spring when all the homicides start.

The building looks like a German flak tower from WWII.
Oh, and thanks, Barry, for sending pallets of $20s to Iran so they could build missiles to fire at us.
Almost all museums have unpaid volunteers - it’s normal.
