Early June, HDR with partner Architrave Limited met with Saint Anthony Hospital leaders and department heads to kick off the programming for a new hospital that will be anchoring the Focal Point Community Campus at 31st and Kedzie.  The cornerstone of the new design is innovation. Architectural programming includes the collaboration of industry experts, medical professionals, and current hospital staff, to produce a refined definition of the future hospital operations, related space requirements, room sizes, department adjacencies, flow, equipment requirements, and staffing.  The new hospital will be designed to improve quality outcomes and patient experience, while also reducing costs. Saint Anthony also wants to maintain the welcoming and family-centric feel of a community hospital. HDR has been connected to the campus project from the beginning.  They are a global engineering and architecture firm with over 200 offices around the world, with award-winning designs in health care and science and technology, spearheading innovative concepts for major institutions ranging from The Shirley Ryan AbilityLab in Chicago and The Pavilion at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia to many others around the world, including a new Cleveland Clinic in Abu Dhabi. Demolition on the campus site is complete with the next phase being land remediation. Completion of the hospital is expected early 2026.
