This hospital's architecture is simply grim, and they keep repeating it. This is all such a wasted opportunity for the hospital itself AND for the city of Chicago. Why such conservatism - can anyone from this hospital answer me? Why is dullness celebrated?Joey Koromnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10923291.post-15556770624644185292011-11-16T22:09:30.964-06:002011-11-16T22:09:30.964-06:00I couldn't agree more with both Nick and Batag...I couldn't agree more with both Nick and Batagnas.

Although NMH didn't help matters by leaving it half empty for four years. Should be an interesting few weeks for Prentice... the building is now completely vacant and NU is releasing a ten year strategic plan at the beginning of next month.<br /><br />Back on topic, the new building's architecture doesn't surprise me in the least but it's definitely disappointing. As it is an office building, I didn't expect any of the innovation seen in the new Rush and Children's hospitals and I figured NMH would stick with the boring style of the past twenty years, but I was hoping that they'd be a bit more adventurous.Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03039439342423497370noreply@blogger.com
