Building Innovations Construction

Carle Foundation Hospital’s planned Campus Modernization Project has moved several steps closer to becoming a reality. On August 12, the Illinois Health Facilities Planning Board gave the project their unanimous approval, allowing us to
move forward in our plan to vastly enhance our ability to provide outstanding patient care. We will be building a nine story tower, which combined with the existing North Tower, will serve as the cornerstone of our medical campus. This
project will also include modernizing portions of our existing space. For more details on the project, visit www.carle.org/buildinginnovations.

Street closures

As we move forward with the construction on our campus, the streets around Carle Foundation Hospital will be affected. There will be street closures, some of which will be temporary and others will be permanent. For the most up-to-date information on these street closures and traffic pattern changes in and around the Carle medical campus, visit www.carle.org/buildinginnovations.
