Healthcare & Wellness The patient, the family member, the clinical staff member...every participant in the healing process has different needs. Legat Architects works with healthcare providers to meet each of these needs by creating environments that merge comfort, technology, and efficiency. Patients get the privacy they need. Family and friends participate in the healing process, without disrupting the clinical staff. Doctors and nurses have the technologies and organization to carry out their work effectively. At the core of our healthcare practice is the belief that every experience is measured by the perceptions and emotions conjured by our basic senses. To satisfy the natural desire for a meaningful and positive experience, we strive to engage the physical and emotional characteristics of the human being. Our solutions place the patient at the center of our planning. Our team encourages the incorporation of best practices developed through Evidence-Based Design (EBD). The care we take in shaping the physical environment greatly influences well-being of both the patient and staff, promotes healing, relieves patient pain and stress, and reduces medical errors, infections, and falls.

CANCER CENTER
NORTHWESTERN MEDICINE MCHENRY HOSPITAL
An 8,800-square-foot expansion and 7,800-squarefoot renovation at the Northwestern Medicine McHenry Hospital Cancer Center not only expands services and allows clinicians to see more patients more efficiently but also creates a more soothing setting. A new, dedicated entry with a large canopy welcomes visitors and reinforces the advanced nature of the treatments within. Among the spaces are a new large linear accelerator vault, two renovated vaults, a new entry lobby/waiting area, and a new conference center.

NEURO INTENSIVE CARE UNIT
NORTHWESTERN MEDICINE CENTRAL DUPAGE HOSPITAL
A complete gut and renovation of Central DuPage Hospital’s third-floor Neurological Intensive Care Unit marks a major clinical and aesthetic improvement in treating critically ill or injured patients. The project expands corridors, improves observation, gives clinicians better access to patients, and creates a more inviting setting. The renovation converts 16 rooms into 12 larger rooms with centrally located beds. A central caregiver station along with nursing alcoves outside each room creates several layers of observation.
MEDICAL-SURGICAL INTENSIVE CARE UNIT
NORTHWESTERN MEDICINE CENTRAL DUPAGE HOSPITAL
COVID-19 resistance and pandemic preparedness drove the redesign of Central DuPage Hospital’s second-floor medical-surgical ICU, resulting in an advanced ICU that minimizes hospital-borne infections while supporting staff efficiency and patient comfort. A sterile, negative-pressure anteroom in each patient room enables nurses to safely prepare and observe patients. An advanced MEP system combats the spread of infectious diseases and adjusts for three modes: pandemicfree, partial pandemic, and full pandemic. Systems in each patient room adapt to the patient’s vulnerability.

MOTHER BABY RENOVATION
NORTHWESTERN MEDICINE CENTRAL DUPAGE HOSPITAL
A makeover brightens and revives Central DuPage Hospital’s maternity unit, while bringing it up to Northwestern Medicine standards. The project creates a better layout and more storage. Upgrades range from new headwalls and footwalls to new finishes and LED lighting. The refresh covers all patient rooms (35 beds), corridors, nurse stations, medication rooms, lactation rooms, and a circumcision room. The design team researched cruise ship layouts to create more space in the patient rooms to create additional storage and in the bathrooms to provide for a much needed shower nook; all while making minimal changes to the existing room layout.
NEW LIFE NURSERY AND PATIENT ROOM RENOVATIONS
NORTHWESTERN MEDICINE DELNOR HOSPITAL
The revived Level II-E Special Care Nursery of Northwestern Medicine Delnor Hospital offers parents and siblings a comfortable place to spend time with premature infants and term infants with medical complications. The 3,100-square-foot makeover brings the spaces up to code, improves workflow, and creates a welcoming ambiance with a soothing color palette and soft lighting. 20

UIHEALTH WELCOME ATRIUM
UI HEALTH HOSPITAL, UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS AT CHICAGO The University of Illinois Hospital (UIHealth) is a major institution in Chicago’s Illinois Medical District, its original 1980s Entry Canopy and Lobby configuration was not designed to serve today’s healthcare delivery model. With formidable competition from other nearby institutions already upgraded, and the Affordable Care Act providing more choice, this upgrade is considered critical for its future success. Paired up with a UIHealth interior public space redesign to strengthen the brand, this new transformation at all eight floors will be the catalyst to reposition the hospital to meet its changing function as a health-related social hub within the community, and serve as a beacon for the university’s healthcare system and a major gateway to the Medical District.
DERMATOLOGY CLINIC
NORTHWESTERN MEMORIAL HEALTHCARE A retrofit converts a former bank (built circa 1900) into a high-tech dermatology clinic. The design follows Northwestern Medicine’s finish and materials standards, but also considers the facility’s location next to a Starbucks and just half a block north of Geneva’s main shopping thoroughfare. A subdued color scheme and distinctive material palette create a less clinical, more spa-like setting.

NORTH NAPERVILLE MEDICAL OFFICE BUILDING
NORTHWESTERN MEMORIAL HEALTHCARE
Two phases of renovation cover eight practices in Northwestern Medicine’s Regional Medical Group North Naperville medical office building. Work on all three stories includes new exam rooms, waiting areas, and nursing/ reception zones, as well as locker rooms and break areas. The project also rebrands common areas (e.g., corridors, lobby, entry) to meet Northwestern Medicine standards. New clinics include Physical Therapy, Orthopedics, new MRI in the Urgent Care, Primary Care, Multispecialty, Alternate Care, OBGYN and Dermatology.
MEDICAL OFFICE BUILDING
NORTHWESTERN MEMORIAL HEALTHCARE
This project fits Northwestern Memorial HealthCare’s outpatient program into a two-story pre-built medical office building. Services include primary care (first floor), diagnostic imaging (second floor), and immediate care (second floor). Among the imaging modalities are general X-ray, MRI, CT scan, mammography, bone density, and ultrasound.

CHICAGO PULMONARY SPECIALISTS Chicago Pulmonary Specialists challenged Legat to transform space in an office building into its main location. A key design goal was to emphasize the organization’s focus on young athletes with breathing problems. However, the client had a limited budget and it needed to move as quickly as possible. Three months later, the group moved into a space that supports its focus on sports medicine. Not only was the project fast (three months from start of design to construction completion), but the design team worked within a budget approximately half that of a normal gut/rehab at a hospital. The client’s request for a “wow space” was achieved in part by featuring images of revered athletes and a clean design despite the abundance of equipment ranging from treadmills and exercise bikes to breathing machines.

HUNTER PAVILION TRAINING FACILITY
NORTHWESTERN MEDICINE LAKE FOREST HOSPITAL Lake Forest Hospital built a new hospital and demolished its old one with the exception of the newer Hunter Family Pavilion. This project, nicknamed “the mend,” adds a two-floor expansion to where the pavilion connected to the old hospital. It also transforms the former women’s center within the pavilion into a research and training component on the campus’s south side. The addition’s ground level houses two large training rooms. Its first floor offers a collegelike setting featuring a break area, a large open gathering space, and an outdoor patio. The addition borrows from the design vocabulary (e.g., slate roof, dormers, masonry details) of the Hunter Family Pavilion.
HEADQUARTERS/CHILDREN’S CLINIC
OAK PARK RIVER FOREST INFANT WELFARE SOCIETY
A retrofit transforms a bank into Oak Park River Forest Infant Welfare Society’s (IWS) new headquarters. The facility, with its wide corridors and playful design, more than doubles the size of IWS’s previous rented location and reinforces the nonprofit’s commitment to children. IWS Children’s Clinic provides medical, dental, and behavioral health services for those unable to afford private care. It also offers space for a future women’s health clinic. Second-floor spaces include offices and meeting areas including a large conference room, as well as a lounge and multipurpose room for staff and community events. 34
LAKE BEHAVIORAL HOSPITAL
US HEALTHVEST
Lake County, Illinois suffered from a severe shortage of behavioral health inpatient beds. A renovation and addition transform a 1980s-era medical office building into the 146-bed Lake Behavioral Hospital, the first facility of its kind in the region. The 88,000-square-foot hospital was designed in four and a half months and built in 13.

INTENSIVE CARE UNIT
NORTHWESTERN MEDICINE MCHENRY HOSPITAL When McHenry Hospital set out to transform a medical-surgical unit into an expansion of its intensive care unit, it faced a major hurdle: not only was the space tight, but an ICU requires more staff and more equipment than a med-surg unit. A renovation opens the space for a new central nurse station surrounded by nine patient rooms including the hospital’s first bariatric ICU room. The design retains the walls between the existing rooms but pushes in the walls between the rooms and the nurse station to accommodate a larger work area with more support areas.

ERIE HEALTHREACH WAUKEGAN HEALTH CENTER
ERIE FAMILY HEALTH CENTER
Chicago-based Erie Family Health Center wanted to open a community health center in Lake County, Illinois, where nearly 150,000 residents lack access to medical and dental care. The organization purchased a 40-year-old bank in Waukegan, the county seat. Today, the Erie HealthReach Waukegan Health Center stands as a community-sensitive portal to care that annually provides medical and dental services to over 12,500 Lake County residents, regardless of their ability to pay. The design welcomes the community and celebrates the facility’s origins.

SPINE RESEARCH CENTER
THE OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY
The Spine Research Institute at The Ohio State University has outgrown its current location. The new Spine Research Lab will house two video motion capture labs, a technology rich conference room, numerous and various collaborative areas and a research computer lab that will be able to house up to 50 graduate-level researchers.

CENTER FOR ADVANCED SIMULATION IN HEALTHCARE
ROSALIND FRANKLIN UNIVERSITY OF MEDICINE AND SCIENCE
This satellite facility not only expands the simulation program at Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science (RFUMS), but it also allows the university to create partnerships with regional healthcare providers seeking training. The 30,000-squarefoot center occupies two floors of a medical office building on Centegra Health System’s Huntley, Illinois campus. The third floor houses a lobby/lounge, offices, and classroom space, while the fourth floor merges four hospital components: a simulated emergency department, an inpatient area, an outpatient zone, and a surgical suite.
