On Aug. 12, contractors will begin installing construction barriers along Kingshighway, Parkview Place and Forest Park Avenue to accommodate demolition of the Jewish College of Nursing and the Kingshighway, Yalem and Steinberg buildings. Demolition is slated to start later this summer.
The Campus Renewal Project is a long-term project to renew the medical center campus on Kingshighway Boulevard encompassing BJC’s Barnes-Jewish Hospital and St. Louis Children’s Hospital along with Washington University School of Medicine. The vision is to transform the campus over the next 10 years through renovations and new construction, creating an environment and experience for patients that matches the excellence in medical care they expect.
“The barriers along Kingshighway, Parkview and Forest Park Avenue will be among the first visible signs of the project,” says Cary Cantwell, campus renewal construction manager. “Interior demolition of each building is underway. Exterior demolition will start as interior demo is completed.”
Containing the site ensures the safety of those outside the site and will accommodate the movement of construction vehicles. One lane of northbound Kingshighway will close Aug. 12 for the duration of demolition and construction.
