The $815 million AbbVie Foundation Cancer Pavilion, a seven-storey 575,000-square-foot building north of 57th Street in Hyde Park, is Illinois' first freestanding cancer centre, with 80 inpatient beds, 90 outpatient exam rooms and dedicated imaging, infusion and clinical trial space. It pulls together cancer services currently spread across at least five buildings on the campus.
The pin's link covers the groundbreaking rather than the opening: "The University of Chicago Medicine broke ground on its $815 million project to build the state's first standalone structure dedicated to cancer care and research", at a Sept. 19 event with Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, Attorney General Kwame Raoul and university and health-system leaders, performances by the Chicago Mass Choir and a ceremonial bell ringing[1]
It gives the opening only as a window - the building is "Expected to open to patients in spring 2027" - so the pin's specific 20 March 2027 date is not stated by the wiki[1]
The pavilion is 575,000 square feet over seven storeys on the flagship Hyde Park campus on the South Side, with 80 inpatient beds, 90 outpatient exam rooms and dedicated imaging, infusion and clinical trial spaces[1]
It consolidates a team of "more than 200 people" who currently work "in more than five different buildings on the Hyde Park campus", and "will be the central point of cancer research efforts, new therapy development, clinical advancements and other discoveries"[1]
Planned capabilities include streamlined access to diagnostics and trials aimed at historically underrepresented populations, work in cancer metabolomics, big data and artificial intelligence, and an on-campus "molecule to medicine" therapy development pipeline with UChicago's Pritzker School for Molecular Engineering and Argonne National Laboratory[1]
Support services listed run from cancer screenings to lifestyle classes, nutrition education, survivor support, music therapy, fitness classes and a retail store selling cancer-specific products such as wigs or clothing with openings for ports[1]
"The new building's additional inpatient beds will allow UChicago Medicine to open other rooms for patients with complex or acute care needs" in organ transplants, digestive diseases, cardiology, orthopedics and trauma care[1]
"The building proposal was approved by the Illinois Health Facilities and Services Review Board in June 2023"; key partners are architect CannonDesign and Turner Construction, both working with diverse firms, and with more than 500 construction jobs involved "at least 41% of the contract construction dollars will go to minority- and women-owned firms"[1]
The case made for it: the CDC estimates US cancer rates will grow by 49% between 2015 and 2050, while on the South Side rates are expected to climb 19% in the next decade against 9% in the rest of the Chicago area, and South Side residents "are twice as likely to die from cancer as people living in the rest of the country"[1]
UChicago Medicine is "one of 72 hospitals in the U.S. and one of only two in Illinois designated by the National Cancer Institute as delivering cutting-edge cancer care", and cancer centre director Kunle Odunsi cited "our 49-year status as a National Cancer Institute-designated Cancer Center and newest member of the prestigious National Comprehensive Cancer Network"[1]
The story does not use the pin's name "AbbVie Foundation Cancer Pavilion" or place the building north of 57th Street[1]
