Overcoming environmental conditions to build a medical facility

UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS AT CHICAGO – MILE SQUARE HEALTH CENTER

The University of Illinois at Chicago Mile Square Health Center is a six-story 121,750 square-foot medical office building with five occupied floors and a mechanical penthouse.

The site is a 2.1-acre twin-parcel on the near West side of Chicago adjacent to the University of Illinois Medical/Health Sciences Campus.
With poor soil conditions and a high water table, deep foundations were utilized in this project.
The first two floors are to be occupied by the Mile Square Health Center, and the upper three floors shelled and designed to specifications.
RLB provided construction cost estimating services during the design document and construction document phase of this project.
