The University of Chicago Medicine Center for Care and Discovery

State-of-the-art hospital on the forefront of advanced medical care

Looking to make a significant impact within the surrounding community, The University of Chicago Medicine (UCM) set out on a journey of discovery. At the heart of this journey was the need to provide present and future generations with a hospital that is continually at the forefront of advanced healthcare, providing the community with access to the very best doctors. This facility includes 28 operating rooms, 176 medical/surgical and ICU beds, 128 recovery rooms, interventional radiology, procedure rooms, staff training facilities, main kitchen, ancillary departments, clinical offices, support offices, sterile processing, pharmacy, and public areas. The project achieved LEED Silver certification. The Rafael Viñoly signature design complements the University’s existing state-of-the-art campus and meets the increasing demand for medical, surgical, intensive care, interventional radiology and GI services.
