Cancer Center Groundbreaking Vid
 

This vid about the cancer center groundbreaking seems to show at least one new rendering (:31) that I hadn't seen before from the new park:

Thank you! It looks amazing!

Helping to Pay for UChicago Medicine Expansion
 

The following will help pay for UChicago Medicine's expansion, including new buildings:

According Fitch, UChicago paid $250 million for Advent Health's 4 hospitals in the western suburbs and expects to receive an additional $1 billion in revenue annually in return.

" UChicago Medicine's total operating revenue measured nearly $3 billion in audited fiscal 2022 (June 30 FYE). The planned acquisition of AdventHealth's Chicagoland assets will add nearly $1 billion in operating revenue to the system."

"The acquisition of AdventHealth's Chicagoland assets includes a purchase price of approximately $250 million."

UChicago has posted milestone dates and other information regarding the New Engineering and Science Building project. No renderings of design plans, but it does include an interesting Site Plan. Looks like they're planning to attach the NESB to the Michelson Center to the west and will feature a pedestrian passageway to the east that centers the Fermi Memorial Sculpture.

That first link doesn't seem to be working (any more). The site plan is interesting. Interesting that it will run right up to, or connect with, Michelson.

I see the milestone page is now back online.
