Designed by Moody Nolan and built by construction firm Powers and Sons, Friend Health wanted to establish a project that serves medically underserved areas within Chicago’s neighborhoods, particularly in the city’s South Side area.
The resulting Friend Family Health Center in the Woodlawn neighborhood is certified as a Federally Qualified Health Center that provides low-cost services to residents in need, regardless of insurance, financial status, or immigration status.
The center offers a full-service pharmacy, a locally owned healthy cafe, group classrooms, obstetrics + gynecology services, family medicine, pediatrics, and behavioral health. Plus, a mural on the exterior of the facility, designed by Rahmaan Statick Barnes, celebrates the history and diversity of the Woodlawn community.
Designed by Beck & Beck Design Associates
For a product to be truly successful, Marcel and Rita Beck believe it must enhance and promote the company for which it was developed. That’s why before creating their design firm, the pair attended furniture design shows across the world, finding inspiration and building knowledge about the diversity of people and industries they would serve. In 1992, they brought back their experience to establish Beck+Beck Design associates. Their international sensibility still influences each of their contract and residential designs today.
