Enhancing the Loyola Experience

Imagine walking into a new two-story hospital lobby filled with attractive, modern furnishings and flooded with natural light. The soothing sounds of flowing water can be heard from the nearby fountain.

This is what patients and visitors will experience as part of Loyola University Health System’s $103 million medical center expansion that is scheduled to be completed in phases beginning in early 2008.

Getting Around During Construction
In the meantime, the entrance to the hospital has been relocated while construction is underway. The new entryway is near the entrance to Parking Deck A, just south and west of the former entrance at Russo.

Loyola understands the challenges that visitors face in getting around its medical center campus. To that end, convenience and accessibility have been enhanced at the relocated entrance to include a wider wheelchair ramp, a larger landing, automatic door openers and a canopy extending to the street. Valet parking is available.

More wheelchairs are available for use by visitors and patients at the new entryway. Benches line the walkway to the hospital, making it easy to rest while moving from one building to another.
