November Construction Update

Children’s Memorial Hospital continues construction on Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago at 225 E. Chicago Ave. (next to Northwestern Memorial’s Prentice Women’s Hospital).

In November, we will continue installation of the steel, pre-cast/exterior layer and windows; pouring of concrete and fireproofing on each floor; and building out of the lower floors. In addition, we will continue installation of the cantilever part of the building (east side by Prentice), which began in late October.

During this month, work will continue to occur Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to late afternoon or early evening, and Saturdays from 8am to late afternoon. Work on Sundays is also likely to continue timely completion of construction. You may notice increased truck activity related to steel and precast deliveries, and some noise as the steel beams are eased into place. All work will be performed consistent with the City noise code requirements.
