Construction Alert

Children’s Memorial Hospital continues construction on the Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago at 225 E. Chicago Ave. (next to Northwestern Memorial’s Prentice Women’s Hospital).

During the month of December, we will continue to pour foundation concrete and install structures to support the building.

The noise level will continue at the minimal level experienced in recent weeks.
