Our team

I wanted to create for them a place that seems to be missing in other children’s hospitals: an oasis from the daily operations of the hospital. Read more.

Since the beginning of this project, our motto has been, “Everyone has a hand in it.”  More than 1000 Children’s Memorial employees and physicians have been involved in the programming and design of Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago. They have participated in user groups to determine programming needs, reviewed interior and exterior design concepts and begun the process of transition planning in preparation for the 2012 move.

In addition, patients and families have been an integral part of design decisions. Our Kids’ Advisory Board, a group of 10 teenagers who have had significant experiences at Children’s Memorial have been meeting monthly with new hospital project leaders, architects and designers to ensure that we are creating a healing environment at Lurie Children’s that will allow for state-of-the-art, family-centered care.
