Chicago
Loyola University Chicago opened the $137 million Center for Translational Research and Education in April of 2016. Created in partnership with Trinity Health, the five-story, 225,000-sf facility provides teaching and research space for the Stritch School of Medicine, the Marcella Niehoff School of Nursing, and Loyola University Health System. The center was designed to promote interaction and collaboration and includes two two-story atriums, a 90-seat seminar room, a 265-seat auditorium, and open labs for the study of epidemiology, public health, bioinformatics, nursing, and health sciences. Ground was broken on the project in August of 2013. LEED Gold sustainable design certification will be sought for the facility.
