Morgan/Harbour to build Presence Health medical facility

ROMEOVILLE - Morgan/Harbour Construction has been selected to build a new 28,928 square foot medical office building for Presence Health Group at 500 S. Weber Road in Romeoville.

The new Presence Senior Healing Arts Pavilion will include a full imaging suite with MRI, CT, X-Ray, mammogram, ultrasound and bone density capabilities. Woodridge-based Morgan/Harbour will construct 26 exam and procedure rooms, physical therapy training facilities, labs, treatment rooms/bays and private offices.

The center will also feature a cafe, community and group therapy rooms as well as a hotel-like concierge lobby with high-end finishes throughout. The brick and metal structure will also include a three-story dramatic glass curtain wall tower entrance with large porte-cochere at the main entry. The site will also feature a parking area, radiant heated sidewalks and extensive site lighting.

Hammes Company is the project manager on behalf of the developer and owner, affiliate Hammes Partners, a private equity fund focused on health care real estate.

"Having recently completed the Presence Healing Arts Pavilion in Plainfield, we are intimately familiar with the needs and requirements of Presence Health," said Warren Seil, president of Morgan/Harbour Construction. "Specifically designed for the senior population, this new facility centers on an exceptional patient experience and level of comfort. We look forward to working with Presence again as well as providing a facility to better serve the local community."

Ben Warriner, executive vice president of Morgan / Harbour is the project executive for Morgan / Harbour Construction, with Scott Staros as senior project manager and Amy DePinto as project manager. Jensen & Halstead, Ltd. is providing the architectural services.

Construction of the new medical office building is expected to be finished in late summer 2016.
