Night view of new Rush University Medical Center hospital looking northeast.

September 25, 2008, marked a new era in hospital building and design as Rush University Medical Center celebrated the groundbreaking for a new hospital designed from the inside out. The new facility's interior and external shape reflect the input of hundreds of nurses, doctors and patients, whose ideas about universal room design, patient and family comfort, efficiency, safety and sustainability influenced the layout. It will be located at the northwest corner of Ashland Avenue and Harrison Street in Chicago, one and a half miles west of downtown Chicago along the Eisenhower Expressway.
