Leopardo has completed the 53,000-square-foot medical office headquarters for Barrington Orthopedic Specialists and Sports Medicine at 929 W. Higgins Road in Schaumburg, Ill.
The medical office building will house Barrington Orthopedics’ full-service practice with physical therapy, work hardening, work conditioning, MRI and physician offices.
To help manage construction costs, the building envelope was built of precast concrete wall panels featuring brick liner. A full basement, spanning nearly the entire footprint of the building, houses the mechanical systems and emergency generator.
The second floor includes a procedure room with recovery bays as well as a 1,400-square-foot conference center with commercial kitchen that will be used for training and large group functions.
The project, including parking lot and landscaping, was completed in less than 11 months. Leopardo was the general contractor with Tinley Park-based Arete-Knight, a division of Knight E/A, as the architect.
In a separate project, Leopardo replaced the HVAC and plumbing infrastructure as well as all exterior windows at Provena Mercy Medical Center in Aurora, Ill. Provena is involved in a multi-phased room privatization project. Leopardo is now beginning the renovation of more than 100 patient rooms on three floors of the hospital’s bed tower.
