Loyola Medicine is planning a $306-million Support Services Building at Loyola University Medical Center in Maywood, Ill., as the first phase of a broader campus redevelopment.
Trinity Health is funding the seven-story, 242,608-square-foot facility, which is intended to modernize campus operations and make room for future clinical expansion.
Pending state and local approvals, construction is expected to begin in fall 2026, with the building scheduled to open in winter 2029.
The new facility will bring together administrative departments, support functions and clinical departments currently spread across several campus buildings. The consolidation is expected to improve operational efficiency and collaboration while supporting the medical centre’s growth.
Relocating those functions will also free up space for a proposed replacement inpatient tower that would include expanded critical care capacity and a new emergency department.
The Support Services Building will establish the foundation for that next phase of campus development, Loyola Medicine said.
“This investment reflects Trinity Health’s confidence in the future of Loyola Medicine and our commitment to meeting the evolving healthcare needs of the communities we serve,” said Shawn P. Vincent, president and CEO of Trinity Health’s Illinois/Indiana Region.
