Tour: Northwestern Medicine Lake Forest Hospital, Under Construction
660 North Westmoreland Road, Lake Forest (meet at construction trailer)
REGISTRATION IS NOW FULL.
The new Lake Forest Hospital, designed by Pelli Clarke Pelli, with Gensler (inpatient designers) and HDR (outpatient designers), will be a destination for health, wellness and civic enjoyment. The state-of-the-art hospital will provide our patients with access to quality care, medical experts and exceptional service as well as a seamless pathway to Northwestern Medicine specialty care. The thoughtful design of the 160-acre campus integrates medical care with health and wellness through walking and biking trails as well as a new common area for community activity and enjoyment. The facility's design seeks LEED Silver certification from the USGBC. Turner is the general contractor for this three-year undertaking.
The new hospital will contain 114 private inpatient beds, 72 outpatient care spaces, 8 operating rooms, and 499,605 square feet of new construction. The redesigned 160-acre campus will include 116 acres of open space and more than 7,000 feet of pedestrian and bicycle paths.
Dress for a construction site: wear close-toed, hard-soled shoes, sturdy pants, and long sleeves. You are welcome to bring your own hard hat and safety goggles, but the hospital will also provide PPE.
Limited to 50 participants.
Meeting location: Health Education Center, 2nd Floor.
Parking: please park in the South Lot
