The Shirley Ryan AbilityLab
is a new 27-floor building in the
Streeterville neighborhood
of downtown Chicago (above).
Ample daylight is diffused
throughout the interior
(opposite, top), while curved
countertops (opposite,
bottom right) ease navigation.
Outdoor therapy gardens
(opposite, bottom left) have
places to sit, walk, and gather
with views of downtown and
Lake Michigan.

Chicago's Shirley Ryan AbilityLab, a renowned rehabilitation center,
makes complexity an asset rather than a liability at its new home in
the downtown Streeterville neighborhood. The multifaceted design
team of HDR | Gensler in association with Clive Wilkinson Architects
collaborated to bring a clean, contemporary simplicity to a healthcare
center with complex programmatic needs.
"Everything in the design is doing two or three things,"
explains HDR Design Principal and Creative Director Tom Trenolone.
To design this 27-story, 1.2-million-square-foot tower, HDR turned to
Gensler for its high-rise expertise, adding Los Angeles-based Clive
Wilkinson to address the patient experience. Previously known as
the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago and located one block north
for more than 40 years, the organization has realized transformation.
Pat Ryan, the founder and former executive chairman of Aon, and wife
Shirley gave a multimillion-dollar donation to the institute, which was
renamed the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab with the move to the new building.
Reflecting real-world challenges
"Our first inclination was to design something that was very universal,"
recalls Gensler Design Director Anne Gibson. But Shirley Ryan
AbilityLab CEO Dr. Joanne Smith told the architects, "The world is
not like that." So the designers were tasked with creating a superb,
flexible interior that would facilitate the most innovative rehabilitative
care while reflecting real-world challenges.
The small ground-floor lobby is adjacent to a covered drop
off along the east side of the building. Visitors proceed up to the
10th floor via elevators into the north-facing Sky Lobby, which
is dedicated to waiting areas, executive offices, a conference center,
a nondenominational chapel, and two outdoor therapy gardens.
Ceilings taper upwards from the central elevator core, and abundant
white surfaces-on the floors, walls, and ceilings-help distribute
ample daylight throughout. Curved surfaces predominate, from
