With the new facility, St. Alexius has doubled its current emergency department treatment capabilities to more than 50,000 patients yearly. The three–phased project included construction of approximately 14,000 sq. ft. of new building space for 23 exam areas, three nurse stations, two triage rooms, registration and waiting areas, as well as renovation work to the existing facility. As part of St. Alexius′ overall expansion program, Graycor also constructed an 11,200–square–foot build–out of the west wing′s sixth floor and performed a multimillion–dollar site work project. Additionally completed aspects of the expansion included renovation of an LDR office and construction of a new special procedures/catheterization laboratory. Also completed was the expansion of the Alexian Brothers Behavioral Health Hospital in Hoffman Estates, including the construction of a three–story, 26,767–square–foot addition to its existing behavioral health hospital.
