Advocate plans to eliminate or reduce 20 clinical rooms from a nine-story outpatient building already under construction at the Christ Medical Center campus. This will result in a 5.2 percent reduction in cost of construction. The construction of the outpatient building will now cost $191.8 million.
In October 2012, Advocate made plans to eliminate two floors in an inpatient building, now being readied for construction at the medical center, and reduced the cost of the project by 13 percent, to approximately $300 million.
Advocate’s proposal is scheduled to be brought before the Illinois Health Facilities and Services Review Board at a Sept. 24 meeting, according to the report.
