This Bertrand Goldberg-designed hospital has been largely vacant since
Northwestern Memorial Hospital relocated to a new structure in 2007. Ownership
is expected to revert back to Northwestern University this year, when the last
tenant moves out of the building. This concrete clover-leafed structure, which
was built in 1975, would then likely be demolished for a new medical research
facility. Although Goldberg’s organic architectural designs – such as this one –
were widely influential, none of his Chicago works are protected by local
landmark designation. This is the second consecutive listing of the hospital on
the “Ten Most” list.
