| 摘要： | The overarching goals for the University of Illinois (UI) Health Specialty Care Building (SCB), a new outpatient surgery center in the heart of Chicago's Medical District, were to create a pivotal, transformative new addition to the campus and also to bookend a new entrance gateway into the district.The new six-level, 200,000 ft2 (19,000 m2) facility includes two levels of same-day surgery suites, three levels of specialty clinics, and a ground floor with check-in, pharmacy, and imaging services.The new building site completes the corner of the medical center's campus, where outpatient and inpatient services come together.The building's architects opted for precast concrete panels as an alternative to brick pilasters during schematic design, which allowed for quicker installation and a more custom solution.To meet the project's budget, the design team worked closely with the developer and contractor team to find local, available, and cost-effective solutions for the envelope.A precast concrete panel manufacturer, International Concrete Products (ICP), from Germantown, Wis., was brought in very early in the process to work with the design team to find solutions for the facility.The depth of precast concrete panel and texture were tested for shade, shadow, and scale during the design process, with the design team landing on a custom serrated and sawtooth texture that changes its appearance throughout the day and throughout the seasons.Substantial mock-ups for color and constructibility were used to ensure that the design was achievable and would match the vision of the design team. |
