An Iconic New Gateway for the Healthcare Community in Chicago. Form follows function in this new Chicago hospital, designed by Ralph Johnson of Perkins+Will.

Project: RUSH University Medical Center

Location: Chicago, IL

Architectural Firm: Perkins + Will

Sobotec System & Materials: SL-2000, ALUCOBOND®-Metal Composite Material

DESIGN

Aesthetically, the hospital’s design forms an iconic and uplifting presence on the campus and nearby expressway. Functionally, the shape shortens distances between patients and nurses which reduces staff stress and provides extra peace of mind to patients.

ENGINEERING

The unique unitized curtain wall system was utilized to enclose the Tower as quickly as possible. Sobotec created AutoCAD generated drawings to fabricate Alucobond panels that were sent to ASI for inclusion in a prefabricated curtain wall featuring a framed support system for the metal panels and glass.

TEAMWORK

This project involved Perkins &Will's design; the superior aesthetics and versatility of Alucobond®; Sobotec's industry-leading fabrication engineering capabilities.
