“It is a great pleasure this morning to welcome you to our university and to share this groundbreaking ceremony as a celebration of the future and as a sign of our strength and momentum as a university and health care delivery system, even during these unprecedented times,” Chancellor Michael Amiridis said at a ceremonial groundbreaking at the University of Illinois Chicago campus today.
The event celebrated the commencement of construction activities for the Outpatient Surgery Center and Specialty Clinics building, which is the first new building for university’s academic and clinical health enterprise, called UI Health, since 2014.
