Skyway Behavioral Health

Skyway Behavioral Health's clinic in Downers Grove, Illinois, is a 20,183-square-foot tenant finish-out on the third floor of 2001 Butterfield Road, replanned from existing office space for a behavioral health provider. The plan brings together about eighteen consult rooms and six group therapy rooms, exam rooms, a treatment room and an isolation treatment area, and art, yoga and meditation rooms. A client dining room with a pantry, a staff break lounge, a check-in and waiting area, patient lockers, a conference room and offices complete the suite, which is designed for up to 135 occupants. New demising partitions set part of the floor aside as a separate suite, and new exits serve the clinic. Existing millwork was salvaged and relocated into new rooms, the reception desk was refreshed with a new solid-surface top, and two single-user accessible restrooms were given a walnut-and-black slat feature wall in place of tile. Luxury vinyl plank runs throughout, with a feature wallcovering in the waiting area.

The Jenkins Group developed six rounds of preliminary space plans between February and August 2024 as the clinical program settled, then prepared the architectural construction documents; mechanical and electrical design were provided separately. The permit set was issued in September 2024, and the firm answered the Village of Downers Grove's plan review comments with a revised submittal that October. At the tenant's request the firm also revised elevations and finishes, working with the tenant's interior designer, Epic Interiors, on the finish selections. The building's owner and developer, Hamilton Partners, was the firm's client of record, and Ostrander Construction was the contractor. The design problem was fitting a program of many small, private rooms into an existing office floor plate, while reusing as much of the existing build-out as the new layout allowed.
