Advocate Medical Group Expands Access to Primary Care in Lincolnshire

LINCOLNSHIRE, IL – Advocate Medical Group (AMG) has expanded its presence in the northwest suburbs with the completion of a new Family Medicine practice in Lincolnshire, Illinois. The 5,600-square-foot clinic increases access to primary care services for local residents, offering high-quality, patient-centered care in a modern, efficient setting.

Matthei & Colin Associates (M&CA) transformed a former bank and retail space into an 11-exam-room outpatient facility. Working within an existing footprint with an unconventional layout, the design team collaborated closely with end users to define programmatic needs, ensuring an optimal balance of clinical efficiency and patient experience. The resulting design organizes exam rooms into two groupings, connected by a central corridor that enhances patient wayfinding and staff workflow.

The design focuses on safety, efficiency, and patient-centered care. Environmental considerations include noise reduction, improved patient visibility to staff, and accessible information at the point of service. The clinic also offers a comfortable, healing environment through intuitive wayfinding, supportive technology, patient and family education resources, and amenities that enhance overall satisfaction. The new clinic reinforces AMG’s commitment to expanding access to primary care in suburban communities while prioritizing patient experience and safety.

M&CA provided all planning, architecture, and interior design services for the project.
