Skender, as general contractor, broke ground today on a new 75,000-square-foot outpatient center for Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago. Lurie Children’s Outpatient, Primary Care and Infusion Center will be located at 1895 Arbor Glen Blvd, Schaumburg, Illinois. The center will offer primary care, ancillary and diagnostic services, orthotics and prosthetics, laboratory and pharmacy services, as well as an ambulatory infusion center with the capacity to expand services.
In addition to the main hospital in downtown Chicago, Lurie Children’s offers children and their families convenient access to the same expert teams of medical and surgical specialists with the same leading treatments and kid-focused technologies at 17 outpatient services locations, six primary care locations and 10 partner hospitals throughout the Chicago area. In Fiscal Year 2023 (September 1, 2022–August 31, 2023), Lurie Children’s had more than 900,000 outpatient visits.
The new outpatient center will grow Lurie Children’s footprint in the northwest suburbs and serve as a replacement to the smaller locations at Arlington Heights, Hoffman Estates and Huntley. The project, with 40 exam and treatment rooms, is expected to be complete in the summer of 2025 and see its first patient in August 2025.
“The opportunity to bring critical healthcare services to the youngest and most vulnerable patients makes us extremely proud,” said Brian Kane, Vice President at Skender. “It’s another example of how healthcare that is closer to home can change lives,” he added.
The project team includes HKS as the architect, Skender as general contractor, IMEG Corp. as the structural and mechanical engineers, and V3 Companies as the civil engineers.
