MCGRATH & ASSOCIATES COMPLETES $1.5M HOSPITAL EXPANSION

ST. LOUIS — McGrath & Associates has completed the $1.5 million expansion of the Saint Louis University Hospital emergency department in St. Louis. The 4,000-square-foot expansion project added five treatment rooms, a nurses’ station, work and storage spaces and a two-station registration area with three offices. McGrath constructed the project in two phases, the first completed while the main lobby, registration desk and escalators directly below and adjacent to the construction site continued to operate. They also relocated a main corridor to allow for the expansion. The design team included BSA LifeStructures and KJWW Consulting Engineers. The Saint Louis University Hospital emergency department treats more than 2,200 trauma patients from Missouri and southern Illinois, and more than 39,000 patients in the emergency department each year.
