Recognized as one of the best neurology hospitals in the U.S., The Abbott Northwestern Neuroscience Institute has been providing first-class patient care for more than a decade and a half. When they wanted to create a new in-patient care center to maintain their competitive edge, they turned to DIRTT.
The facility serves patients dealing with serious neurological conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease. To make patients as comfortable as possible, Abbott Northwestern leaned into biophilic design principles. Wood-veneer Thermofoil offers a warm environment while also being a durable and easy-to-clean surface. Full height graphic panels offer scenes of nature to help ease patient anxiety.

Project Includes:
But using DIRTT didn’t just fulfill patient care needs. Our modular prefab system installs easily streamlining the construction process. The 13 neuro intensive care rooms and 43 general neurology beds were completed on time and on budget. DIRTT also supported the sustainability goals of the health system. Wall assemblies on this project were made with 72% recycled material and more than 12 thousand pounds of waste was diverted from the landfill on this project. On top of that, DIRTT is designed with removable wall panels and flexible medical gas for easy adaptability. That means when technology or patient needs change over time, the space can evolve without creating excess waste.
