| ST. LOUIS, MO – McGrath & Associates has begun construction of a $6.5 million energy center expansion at Des Peres Hospital in St. Louis. Construction is scheduled for completion in Spring 2016. The architect is ACI Boland Architects.
The 3,475-square-foot masonry and steel expansion will increase capacity and reliability of the hospital’s heating, cooling and emergency power systems. The expanded center will house a new chiller, boilers, switchgear, and Automatic Transfer Switches (ATS). A new cooling tower and fuel tanks will be installed adjacent to the expansion.
