Lurie Children's is located on a 1.8-acre site on Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine Campus in downtown Chicago, Ill. It is the world's tallest children's hospital. LURIE: HEDRICH BLESSING/NICK MERRICK >> continued from page 8 presents the awards, said the Arlington Free Clinic is a "true beacon project." "Not only does it provide high-quality free healthcare to individuals outside of the mainstream health insurance safety net, it is an example of how a community can generate the resources required to improve the lives of its residents by designing, building, maintaining, operating and improving both the environment and its caring services," Dr. Ruga added. At 23 stories, the new 1.3-million-square-foot Ann & Robert H.

This location will increase clinical, academic and research opportunities. The facility is also connected by bridges to the Prentice Women's Hospital, which will allow for faster transport of critically ill newborns. The design team engaged patients, families and the wider community to create an innovative and family centered care environment that provides children with access to the best in pediatric medicine and research. "The new Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital in Chicago is a leading example of how generative space can be effectively used to not only improve lives and organizational performance, but it also demonstrates how an innovatively designed caring environment can be used to improve the overall well-being of a broad community," Dr. Ruga said. "As a recipient of the Third Annual Generative Space Award, this project is a living classroom for the advanced study of applying generative space to a large-scale medical institution and — as such — it is well-deserving of receiving this distinguished acknowledgement."
