Reed Construction has been selected to perform extensive upgrades at Rush University Medical Center (RUMC), located at 1653 W. Congress Parkway in Chicago.
The firm will perform campus-wide improvements, including upgrades on floors 1-11 of RUMC’s Professional Office Building. Reed will install approximately 51 automatic door openers, in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The new system includes push button actuators that will release the doors automatically instead of having to manually open them. In addition, new mirrors and grab bars will be installed, as well as new toilet pipe insulation in 23 individual bathrooms.
The project is planned to begin mid-October and conclude at the end of January 2016.
