medical center takes next
step toward redevelopment
BJC HealthCare, Barnes-Jewish Hospital, St. Louis
Children’s Hospital and Washington University School
of Medicine are taking another step forward in the
future development of the Washington University
Medical Center campus.
“We are looking ahead to a complete transformation
of the campus and this phase is the first piece of the
puzzle being put in place,” says Richard Liekweg,
Barnes-Jewish Hospital president.

“We are assembling a premier team to ensure that we
create an environment and experience for patients that
matches the excellence in medical care they expect when
they arrive,” says Liekweg. “Although no specific buildings
have been designed yet, our goal is to build a campus that
is welcoming to patients and their families, and easier and
more intuitive to navigate.”
A partnership among Barnes-Jewish Hospital, St. Louis
Children’s Hospital, and Washington University School
of Medicine will consolidate obstetrics and gynecological
services and move these services to the north campus.
Additional space for faculty practice clinics, community
physician practices and diagnostic spaces will also
be included. Also on the north end of the campus,
revitalization will consolidate and expand clinical care at
the Siteman Cancer Center and other surgical programs.
Improvements to north campus will also include an
expansion of St. Louis Children’s Hospital, with enlarged
diagnostics and treatment spaces and conversion of
semi-private rooms to offer more private rooms.
The south campus phase will focus on enhancements to
support Barnes-Jewish Hospital’s expanding heart and
vascular program, neurology and neurosurgery programs,
south campus
transplant, trauma and critical care, and general medicine
programs. Again, there will be a focus on creating more
critical care capacity and more private inpatient rooms
with a campus-wide private room availability increasing to
at least 80 percent. In addition, improvements will be made
to open and public areas, parking, ambulatory services and
other sites throughout the campus.
