Pearl Pavilion
Rehabilitation & Healthcare Design-Build Project
Pearl Pavilion Rehabilitation and Healing Center in Freeport, Illinois, required a thoughtful approach to the renovation of its therapy and patient spaces. ML Group provided both design and construction services, ensuring that the facility’s physical environment supported rehabilitation and healthcare needs. The project focused on enhancing therapy areas, public corridors, and patient-centered spaces to improve functionality, accessibility, and overall experience.


Strategize. Creating Functional Spaces for Rehabilitation & Care
The design process for Pearl Pavilion centered on optimizing healthcare operations and rehabilitation workflows. ML Group developed a strategic layout that improved accessibility and enhanced interactions between patients and care providers. By designing efficient nursing stations, intuitive public corridors, and well-organized therapy spaces, we created an environment tailored to the needs of both patients and staff. Every space was planned with usability and flexibility in mind, ensuring that the facility could adapt to evolving rehabilitation and healthcare practices.


Imagine. Designing for Recovery & Patient Experience
The reception area, visitors’ lounge, and therapy rooms were designed to provide clarity, comfort, and functionality. Thoughtful material selection and spatial planning contributed to an environment that fosters engagement and ease of movement. In the occupational therapy and physical therapy areas, ML Group incorporated open layouts and adaptable features to support a range of rehabilitation treatments. The goal was to create spaces that enhance both patient recovery and the efficiency of care providers.
Transform. Integrated Design-Build Execution
With a design-build approach, ML Group oversaw the entire process from initial concept to final construction. This integrated method allowed for seamless coordination, precise execution, and efficient project delivery. The rehabilitation spaces, including the therapy gym and nursing stations, were constructed with attention to detail, ensuring they aligned with the operational needs of the facility. By managing both design and construction, ML Group delivered a cohesive solution that supported the center’s functional requirements.


A Process Focused on Innovation & Execution
Pearl Pavilion reflects ML Group’s integrated process, where strategic planning, innovative design, and expert construction come together to create functional healthcare environments. Our approach ensures that rehabilitation and healthcare spaces are designed and built with a deep understanding of operational efficiency and patient experience. Through this process, we develop facilities that align with the evolving needs of healthcare and rehabilitation services.
