Bertrand Goldberg's Prentice Women's Hospital Could Get Demo'd

Prentice Women’s Hospital
333 E. Superior St., Chicago

"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." Blurb was lifted from Landmarks Illinois
