Project Size:
199,000 ft²Key Project Attributes
- The Bruno & Sallie Pasquinelli Outpatient Surgery Center is a six-level, 200,000 ft² specialty care building located on the campus of the University of Illinois Hospital and Health Sciences System in Chicago, Ill.
- Though rainscreens and curtain walls were considered, the project’s design team settled on precast concrete panels for aesthetics and speed to market.
- The bespoke texture and pattern of the precast concrete panels provide a neo-Gothic aesthetic, pairing the new surgery center perfectly with existing buildings on the campus.
Project/Precast Scope
- Precast concrete panels were designed to span two and three floors while retaining floor-to-floor movement joints at every level.
- The serrated, sawtooth design create visually stunning shade and shadow on the structure, all while maximizing daylight and minimizing solar gain.
