McCarthy Building Companies, Inc. has been selected to lead the design-build team for a new 14-story facility with more than 200 inpatient beds for SSM Health’s Cardinal Glennon Children’s Hospital in St. Louis.
The design-build team includes HKS, a leading global architecture and design firm and the Lawrence Group, a St. Louis-based planning and design firm.
The new pediatric academic hospital will incorporate the latest best practices in patient- and family-centered design, including large areas to accommodate families – parents, siblings and grandparents – who are important to the healing journey. It will also support expanded and enhanced services including NICU (neonatal intensive care unit), ICU (intensive care unit), cancer, cardiology, and dialysis care in a therapeutic healing environment that seamlessly integrates the very latest technology and research to meet the evolving needs of the communities it serves both now and in the future.
Scheduled for completion in 2027, the new hospital is to be built at Chouteau Avenue and Grand Boulevard in the City’s Midtown area. First opened in 1956, SSM Health Cardinal Glennon Children’s Hospital was the nation’s first free-standing, not-for-profit Catholic children’s hospital, providing a much-needed beacon of hope and healing for children and families across St. Louis and beyond.
