| ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI – McGrath & Associates has completed work on a $1.5 million expansion of the Saint Louis University Hospital emergency department, one of the region’s busiest emergency rooms and the busiest Level 1 trauma center. The Saint Louis University Hospital emergency department treats more than 2,200 trauma patients from throughout Missouri and southern Illinois, and more than 39,000 patients in the emergency department each year.
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 busy main lobby, registration desk and escalators directly below and adjacent to the construction site continued to operate. They also relocated a main corridor also to allow for the expansion. McGrath coordinated materials delivery and construction to minimize interruptions and implemented strict contamination control measures, to ensure a safe work environment and clean air quality for staff and patients. The design team included BSA LifeStructures and KJWW Consulting Engineers. McGrath & Associates, celebrating its 30th year, is a 100 percent employee-owned general contractor and construction management firm specializing in commercial, health care, industrial, institutional and pharmaceutical construction projects. McGrath is a member of the Associated General Contractors, the St. Louis Construction OSHA Partnership and has been named “General Contractor of the Year” by the American Subcontractors Association Midwest Council four times out of 15 nominations.
