MacNeal Hospital
MacNeal Medical Center Bridgeview
Bridgeview, Illinois

The architect intended "to endow the medical center with rich examples of materials that would result in a beautifully proportioned, professionally detailed, monumental building of which the community could be quite proud." MacNeal Medical Center Bridgeview is a satellite clinic comprised of a two-story entry, a one and a half story angled space containing the waiting room, education room, multi-purpose classroom and conference area; and the main single-story space housing the clinic. For Reed, the medical center posed many complexities expected of a medical facility - precisely coordinated HVAC, electrical and plumbing requirements. But Reed was additionally challenged to faithfully render the intricately detailed building design. The exterior is predominantly brick, with limestone-clad columns and flat roofs over clerestories. The elevation is accented with white porcelain bands. Inside, the clad aluminum curtain wall mullions are introduced into the lobby and their motif reflected in decorative iron work. Only with the most careful selection, coordination and supervision of sub-contractors, superior communication with the design team, and thorough understanding of the medical center's operating requirements could Reed complete this building on budget and on time. For a medical center or a corporate center, superior design requires superior construction.

Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago
Hydrotherapy Facility
Chicago, Illinois

One of the foremost hospitals of its kind in the country, the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago is dedicated to the treatment of stroke victims, and patients who have suffered spinal cord injuries or other conditions that affect their motor skills. The Rehabilitation Institute provides extended care for patients who may remain at the hospital from one week to many months, sometimes even longer.

Providing ongoing therapy for its patients, the Rehabilitation Institute wanted to develop a hydrotherapy facility that required the construction of a large pool and several hydrotherapy units on its 12th floor. An adaptive reuse of hospital space, Reed Illinois Corporation was sensitive to the fact that the area had to be totally closed off from the rest of the facility during the construction process to prevent dust and particles from getting into the air.

Taking place in phases, the construction of the facility was unique. One of Reed's biggest challenges was creating an infrastructure that would support the pool and prevent leakage onto the floors below. In addition, Reed had to create a controlled environment that would eliminate humidity and drafts, yet still allow the hospital to keep the pool at a warm temperature. The project also entailed extensive lead abatement and replacement of the curtain wall.

Saint Elizabeth Hospital
Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory
Chicago, Illinois

Committed to excellence within the healthcare construction market, Reed is often employed to create medical facilities that support the high-tech nature of medical and related computer equipment.

At Saint Elizabeth Hospital, Reed constructed a state-of-the-art facility to house the new cardiac catheterization laboratory. Comprised of two rooms divided by glass windows, the temperature-controlled procedure room features the catheterization equipment and high-resolution ceiling-mounted monitors that enable the physicians to view the heart and surrounding tissue from a variety of angles. The control room has its own monitors so that technicians can also view the catheterization and incoming data.

To accommodate the delivery of the new cardiac catheterization equipment, Reed was asked to complete the laboratory in four weeks. Knowing that timing was critical to the success of the project, Reed not only finished the laboratory on time, but completed the job within Saint Elizabeth's projected budget.
