16-Story Tower at Barnes-Jewish Hospital in St. Louis Tops Out

McCarthy Building Companies, a Missouri-based construction firm, recently marked a significant milestone for the Barnes-Jewish Hospital Campus Renewal project in St. Louis with the Plaza West Tower topping-out ceremony. The ceremony celebrated the installation of the final steel beam on the new 16-story building and world-class healthcare facility.

The work is part of BJC HealthCare’s Campus Renewal Project, a long-term, $1 billion renewal of its Washington University Medical Campus. The Plaza West Tower is expected to open in the fall of 2025.

The 660,000-square-foot facility will include seven floors with 224 private inpatient rooms and 32 rooms for patients with heart and vascular illnesses. The project team includes architect CannonDesign, consulting engineer BR+A, structural engineer Thornton Tomasetti, civil engineer Castle Contracting and landscape designer DTLS.

Plaza West Tower is the final project currently planned for BJC’s Campus Renewal, following other projects including the new Parkview Tower and St. Louis Children’s Hospital expansion.
