A new hospital has been announced on the northern end of the upcoming Illinois Quantum and Microelectronics Park. Approved by the Chicago City Council last week, the 400-acre redevelopment of the former South Works site has now picked up another tenant as Advocate Health Care has pledged to spend $1 billion in the next decade across multiple projects.
Exterior work is nearing completion on the Rush North and Harlem Outpatient Center, located at 1625 North Harlem Avenue, in the Austin Community Area. General contractor Novak Construction continues adding detail outside the building, even as work ramps up on the medical facilities inside.
Exterior construction for the Northwestern Medicine Bronzeville Outpatient Center at 4822 South Cottage Grove Avenue, in the Grand Boulevard Community Area continues to progress toward completion. Much of the cladding for the parking structure at the south end of the facility is up, as is most of the glass curtain well around the office and patient care areas at the north end. Significant interior work remains, as healthcare-specific preparations require considerably more time to implement than standard construction.
Structural steel is rising into shape for the AbbVie Foundation Cancer Pavilion at the University of Chicago in Hyde Park. General contractor Turner Construction has the steel up to the underside of the fourth and fifth levels as it begins to wrap around the twin concrete cores.
Plans have been revealed for a new health clinic at 467 E 31st Street in Bronzeville. Located just east of the intersection with S Martin Luther King Drive, it will be dubbed the Bronzeville Health Center and occupy the existing office building within Lake Meadows. The project is being developed by Cook County Health and serve as an expansion of Provident Hospital.
