MAYWOOD, IL – Loyola Medicine today announced that Trinity Health is investing $306 million in a new Support Services Building on the campus of Loyola University Medical Center, advancing a long-term vision to modernize the campus and support future growth in patient care, education and innovation.
The new 242,608-square-foot, seven-story facility, will serve as the first phase of a broader campus redevelopment plan designed to strengthen operations and create space for future clinical expansion. Pending state and local approvals, construction is expected to begin in fall 2026. The facility is scheduled to open in winter 2029.
The Support Services Building will centralize administrative departments, support functions and clinical departments currently located across several campus buildings. The project will create opportunities for greater collaboration, efficiency and innovation while supporting Loyola Medicine's continued growth.
"This investment reflects Trinity Health's confidence in the future of Loyola Medicine and our commitment to meeting the evolving healthcare needs of the communities we serve," said Shawn P. Vincent, president and CEO of Trinity Health Illinois/Indiana Region. "The new Support Services Building will create a modern and efficient environment for our colleagues, strengthen operational performance and help position Loyola University Medical Center for future expansion. Most importantly, it supports our Mission to deliver exceptional, compassionate care to every patient and family who entrust us with their care."
By relocating support services and administrative functions to the new building, Loyola Medicine will free up space for a proposed replacement inpatient tower that would include expanded critical care capacity and a new emergency department. The support services project establishes the foundation for that future phase of development.
"This investment is a transformational step forward for Loyola University Medical Center and the patients who rely on us for highly specialized care," said Elizabeth E. Early, president of Loyola University Medical Center. "The new Support Services Building will strengthen the infrastructure that supports every aspect of our operations while creating the space needed for future growth."
The project represents a significant investment in the future of Loyola University Medical Center and Loyola Medicine's ability to advance medical innovation, support its workforce and enhance the care experience for patients and families across the region.
