Gottlieb Surgical Suite
Melrose park, Illinois

Architect: Loebl Schlossman & Hackl

Located on the Gottlieb Memorial Hospital campus in Melrose Park, this new two story, 21,000 SF surgical suite was added to the main hospital facility.  Our project team worked closely with the Hospital to phase all work so that the Hospital could continue with normal operations while construction progressed. 

Phase I included construction of the core and shell of the building, new first floor offices, elevator, staff locker rooms and storage rooms.  Phase I second floor work included two open-heart operating rooms, one orthopedic operating room, two scrub areas, nurse station and staff lounge.  Extensive measures were taken throughout the project to maintain infection control, including housekeeping and fire separation protection.  Phase II, III & IV included one neurological operating room, post-anesthetic care units, inpatient holding area, dark room and new corridors.  The original design was over budget, but through value engineering by our team we were able to reduce the original cost by $500,000 or 10% while maintaining the high standard of quality and precision a project of this class demanded.  Phasing allowed us to minimize Owner down time, allowing continuation of surgery in adjacent operating rooms
