HEALTHY MATERIALS
The project team was also mindful that the interior
material selection needed to balance health
with cost, procurement, and performance parameters.
The project materials were reviewed
against the LEED's low-emitting material standards
from the U.S. Green Building Council and
Perkins&Will's Precautionary List, which allows
designers to search for key substances and
chemicals of concern using filters such as product
type and health and environmental impacts.
For the UChicago Medicine Crown Point project,
the Precautionary List allowed designers to
identify products containing chemicals of concern
(those with known human health impacts)
and have conversations with UChicago Medicine
on alternatives. The interior acoustical
ceiling tile and the exterior metal soffit ceiling
system are examples of selected products that
are " Precautionary-List Free. " The selection of
these ceiling systems involved a careful balance
of meeting acoustic requirements for healthcare
environments, aggressive procurement milestones,
and minimizing health impacts.
SERVING THE COMMUNITY
UChicago Medicine Crown Point is a vital community
resource providing convenient access
to specialty medical care without the long distances
that previously were required. By offering
a wide range of health services in a thoughtfully
designed space, the facility is reshaping how care
is delivered to the region. 
