It's academic: Medical center benefits from enhanced BAS
NMH was formed through the merger of Chicago Wesley Memorial and Passavant Memorial Hospital in 1972. Located in the heart of downtown Chicago, NMH provides inpatient and outpatient care to people from around Chicago and around the world. The need for a new medical center became evident in the 1980s.
A team of architects and consultants designed a 2.2-million-sq-ft facility that now includes the 17-story Feinberg Inpatient Pavilion and the 22-story Galter Outpatient Pavilion. The pavilions are connected by an eight-story base, which houses diagnostic and therapeutic services. Four hundred acute patient beds, 96 intensive care beds, 32 operating rooms, and office and clinical space for more than 1,600 physicians are housed in the $580 million facility.
