From IBM's opening in 1973 through 2009, Jenner and Block occupied the top 10 floors at 330 N Wabash, or about a fifth of the building. They moved out last year for newly built office space at 353 N Clark. See <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/330_North_Wabash" rel="nofollow">here</a>, <a href="http://www.law.com/jsp/article.jsp?id=1202429223774" rel="nofollow">here</a>, and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jenner_&_Block" rel="nofollow">here</a>. Their conference room was easily seen from south on State Street as an oddly reddish-glowing room about four-fifths of the way up the south frontage of the tower. The "glow" was from the reddish wood-paneled finish in the room, clearly visible on the entire floor containing the conference room from the roof of Marina City, as the picture above this post shows. It could be that you are confusing the building with other, similarly named "IBM Buildings" in other cities. In Chicago, the official "IBM Plaza" and colloquial "IBM Building" are used interchangeably for the building at 330 N Wabash--where as I have cited above, Jenner and Block was an anchor tenant for 36 years.
