St. Luke's Hospital and St. Louis-based McCarthy Building Companies have completed construction of the East Medical Building, the new outpatient center for the Chesterfield, Mo., hospital. Construction of the $26-million design/build project began in June of 2001 and includes the 69,015-sf, four-story outpatient center and the new 447-car, 154,400-sf East Parking Garage. The center exists adjacent to the main hospital complex and houses the facility's Center for Cancer Care, the women's health center (including mammography), doctor's offices, the gastrointestinal laboratory and the nuclear medicine department.
The facility was built with a patient-friendly design in mind: to shorten patient walking distance, the garage is located directly adjacent to the outpatient center. An 80-foot-long pedestrian bridge connects the center with the second level of the parking garage. ACI/Boland is the project architect.
