A gateway to the medical campus, providing urgent and primary care services to an at-risk community.

 

Located in the heart of the Illinois Medical District and at the fringe of the University’s West Campus, the building acts as a gateway to the medical campus. The design is sensitive to the fabric of the urban campus, prioritizing human scale entry-points that create an approachable experience.

 

Future Flexibility

Flexible and open-plan clinical spaces were prioritized to enable long-term operational agility. The center is designed to accommodate an urgent care clinic, pharmacy, radiology, labs, administrative offices, dentistry, and a women, infants and children sub-practice.

The building exterior is clad in glass and composite metal panels, reflecting the dynamic nature of the campus and it’s surroundings.

A series of garden spaces along Roosevelt Avenue provide respite from the urban environment, a key component of the center’s wellness mission. The expansive glass façade allows patients inside to have visual connections to nature.

A green roof terrace on the third floor creates a contemplative space that offers expansive views of the city beyond, while playing an integral role in the storm water management master plan.

Open green spaces offer moments of respite for patients and caregivers alike.
