Leopardo Companies, Inc. has broken ground on the new University of Chicago Medicine Center for Advanced Care at Orland Park, a $61 million project.
The 108,000-square-foot ambulatory health care facility, located at 143rd Street and LaGrange Road, will be the University of Chicago Medicine’s largest off-campus location when it opens in late 2016.
The project will include a four-story multi-use building with pharmacy and 80 exam rooms, and will provide services in radiation oncology, orthopedics, gastroenterology, cardiology, pediatrics, women’s health and surgical consulting. Once complete, the center and its services will help meet the growing health care demand in the area, and is estimated to employ more than 100 people.
