General contractor Skender says it has placed the final piece of structural steel on the Schaumburg Outpatient, Primary Care and Infusion Center at 1895 Arbor Glen Blvd., Schaumburg.

The last steel beam signifies the end of the structural phase of construction as the project team works toward the building’s completion and anticipated opening in the summer of 2025.

The new 75,000-sq. ft. center, designed by HKS Architects, will expand Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago’s service footprint in the northwest suburbs. The center will offer ancillary and diagnostic services, orthotics and prosthetics, laboratory and pharmacy services, as well as an ambulatory infusion center with the capacity to expand services.

“Today, we celebrate both the completion of the building’s structural steel and the hard work of our entire project team as we shift to the enclosure, mechanical and interior phases,” Skender senior project manager Marty Barrett said in a statement. “Knowing that this building will help bring healthcare closer to home for young and vulnerable members of our community makes it a particularly meaningful project for us.”

The project team includes HKS as the architect, Skender as general contractor, IMEG Corp. as the structural and mechanical engineers, and V3 Companies as the civil engineers.
