The building, 121 N. LaSalle St., will be closed from 6 a.m. to 1 p.m., with the drill taking place between 10 and 11 a.m.
The county side of the building will remain open, according to the Office of Emergency Management and Communications.
Some streets and sidewalks will close:
- LaSalle Steet between Randolph and Washington closed to vehicles, 7 a.m. to 1 p.m.
- West side sidewalk on LaSalle closed to pedestrians.
