The new Malcolm X College and School of Health Sciences provides 545,000 sq. ft. of state-of-the-art learning and support spaces for this community college that focuses on the hands-on training of allied health professionals. Located on Chicago's near west side and in close proximity to the Illinois Medical District, the College sits adjacent to the previous facility and provides a complete campus of buildings, all linked internally, setting the tone for future development in this neighborhood.

Academic classrooms and teaching laboratories as we as recreation facilities, a conference center and support spaces are all organized around a student union, library and external roof garden. The facility is crowned by an eight-story tower, which represents a "virtual hospital" and allows students to learn though simulated, real-world healthcare scenarios.

Moody Nolan, serving as the Architect-of-Record built upon Cannon's Design's concept for this project that also includes a 1,200-car parking structure. As a major provider of training for Chicago's health professionals, the new facility will better allow Malcolm X to prepare students for both to further college and careers through their College and Careers initiative.
