RTKL TO COMPLETE TECH PLANNING FOR 1.2 MILLION-SQUARE-FOOT HOSPITAL

CHICAGO — RTKL Healthcare Technologies Group will complete technology planning for the new 1.2 million-square-foot hospital pavilion for the University of Chicago Medical Center, which will be located in Chicago’s Hyde Park neighborhood. The 10-story hospital pavilion, which is scheduled to open in 2012, will focus on cancer, gastrointestinal disease, neuroscience, advanced surgery and high-technology medical imaging. The facility will feature 54 rooms including specialty and hybrid operating rooms, general procedure rooms, gastrointestinal rooms, bronchoscopy rooms, ERCP rooms, and interventional radiology procedure rooms. RTKL is ensuring that each department within the hospital pavilion understands how the other will use the integrated systems that the firm installs, and how the systems will interact. Don Conrad is acting as RTKL’s project manager at the site.
