Patient Care Tower Design | Oak Hill, Illinois

As part of a multi-disciplinary team, Hitchcock Design Group was brought in to assist with the design of the New Patient Care Tower for Advocate Christ Medical Center. The new patient tower brings an additional 232 private patient rooms to the campus, as well as a new clinical lab to expand the services the medical center is able to offer patients. Additionally, a new kitchen, servery and dining areas are a part of the patient tower with the goal of enhancing patient, visitor and staff dining experiences. To address the pedestrian experience on the urban campus, overall improvements to the streetscape were instituted and circulation issues were resolved by redesigning the entrance to the hospital. To complete the enhancements, a green roof was added to create a space for a staff garden.
