Palos Community Hospital has been a fixture in the southwest suburbs of Chicago for over forty years. Jacobs/Ryan Associates was selected for various expansions at Palos Community Hospital, which have provided the opportunity to reimagine the site and landscape. While the hospital continued to grow, its image as a hospital in an oak forest was retained. Preserving continuity around the expansive site was integral to the project design to unify the hospital campus, and themes that developed over the years included preserving a naturalistic landscape and the use of limestone to blend the architecture of the building into the informal landscape.
