Reed Construction Begins Renovations at Illinois Behavioral Health Hospital

DES PLAINES, ILL. — Reed Construction has started a renovation project at the former Maryville Behavioral Health Hospital, located at 555 Wilson Lane in Des Plaines. US HealthVest acquired the facility in the fourth quarter of 2014 and renamed the property to Chicago Behavioral Hospital. The improvement program includes 22,000 square feet of internal renovations to the facility’s architectural components on the third and fourth floors, including new patient rooms and large group therapy rooms. Additional renovation includes upgrades to various mechanical, electrical and plumping components, as well as the nurse calling and fire alarm systems. Originally founded in 1883, the faith-based, 125-bed facility provides a range of inpatient and day hospital care for adolescents, including a general psychiatric unit and an intensive care unit. Following the renovations, the facility will expand to include services for adults. Miro Petrovic of US HealthVest is providing architectural services for the project. Construction of the renovated space is slated for completion this November.
