The Mercy Center for Performance Medicine & Specialty Care and its connected 1,000-space parking garage has opened. The multispecialty center is located on the campus of Mercy Hospital St. Louis (Missouri) and is one of the largest and most technology-rich outpatient surgery centers in the United States.
The high-tech, 272,000-square-foot, five-level outpatient center is designed with the patient experience in mind. Specialties at the new building include neurosurgery, orthopedics and sports medicine, reconstructive surgery, bariatrics and urology. The center features digitized wayfinding and a digital concierge service that seamlessly guide patients and families through their care experience.
The construction team employed a robust suite of technology to enhance coordination and communication on site, which included weekly drone flights over the project, monthly video project updates and an online project dashboard. The team used StructionSite 360 to ensure all stakeholders were kept up-to-date on the project through a secure, web-based portal providing virtual 360 video and images and interactive PDFs linked to real-time video walkthroughs and side-by-side comparisons of existing conditions and new work.
Construction of the center started in January 2021 and was completed in April 2023. The project team included general contractor Alberici/KAI Build joint venture and architect CannonDesign.
