The design orients the new Calumet City CCHC addition with its longestfaçade facing Torrence Avenue. By rotating the building footprint90 degrees we provide greater visual recognition for the center and simultaneously define a community presences that address the street. This new building, while minimizing sightlines of the expanded parking lot also creates a predominant building corner which all patients will easily identify as the new entry point. To completely unify the existing building with the addition we will be exploring materials that seamlessly can be used as an over clading for the existing and also as new the exterior wall for the addition. It is important that we create a visually recognizable brand identity through these materials and colors that can be realized at both the Calumet City center South Holland location.
