Do we have a current site plan? Are those brick panels between the glass, or maybe some kind of metal (please no fiber-cement)?
No site plan but the massing study posted by Presbyterian over at NextSTL shows it might look like a rectangle with a (large) triangle cut out of the southeast corner . Probably 2/3rd of the site would be built on.
^I like that it looks like the full 7 stories will project as far northeast at possible for the site.
I wonder what, if anything, BJC has planned for the lots (one of which was part of the land swap) just north of this new STLCOP Building.

^Yep, I'm curious about that lot too. Prime frontage right on Forest Park Pkwy.; hope it'll be something big and impressive.
Agreed. Although, I've been noticing a trend at BJC that their last few big projects have topped out at 12 stories. The new Children's Hospital expansion (Parkview & Kingshighway) and Barnes-Jewish expansion (Parkway & Kingshighway), the new outpatient building (Parkway & Euclid), and the new "coal bunker" office building (Metrolink & Euclid) all top out at 12 stories.framer wrote:Hope it'll be something big and impressive.
Obviously BJC answers to no one, but I wonder if the newly adopted interest in 12 story buildings is out of deference to the Park Central form-based code (which doesn't include the BJC campus), and which proposes that the portion of the neighborhood bordering Forest Park Parkway top out at 12 stories. Then again, maybe it's just a coincidence.
That said, a 12 story building along the Parkway, behind the new STLCOP building would be fantastic.

A visit to the St. Louis College of Pharmacy
St. Louis College of Pharmacy was established in 1864 as the Civil War was winding down. The first botany class was held at Shaw's Garden (Missouri Botanical Garden), and after moving to six different locations, in 1927 the college opened at Parkview Place and Euclid Avenue in what was then an emerging medical center.
Last month, more than 150 years after its founding, St. Louis College of Pharmacy opened a brand new 6-story 213,000 s.f. building at Taylor Avenue and Parkview Place. Whereas earlier phases in the evolution of the St. Louis College of Pharmacy campus were internally focused around a courtyard, it was the mission of current President John A. Pieper to orient the building outward and embrace the healthcare community that surrounds it....

Phase II is underway! The site is prepped for foundation work, which should begin shortly.
I think I saw steel rising above ground as I drove by today. Still no crane, though.

I'm not feeling it for this building.... seems like it is kind of trying to make some kind of statement but is really just kind of phoning it in.
It's a shame that with the opportunity all this development along Taylor presents, it's OK with the bigwigs that it just sucks.
I'm holding my final judgement until it's finished; it may just be in that "awkward stage".

I think these buildings are pleasantly modern, and that they present a facade to pedestrians on Taylor that is absolutely trash. But who is going to force them to make it better? No one.

Drove by this campus today, man these buildings look great. Is this one of the best in the last 20 years? If not this, what?
The Euclid (shake shack building). absolutely hits all the notes when it comes to urban form and use, density and treatment of sidewalks as well as parking.Mark Groth wrote: Drove by this campus today, man these buildings look great. Is this one of the best in the last 20 years? If not this, what?

^^Agreed Mark, this has been an extremely well done addition to the area.
I may have missed this announcement on another thread, hopefully, STLCOP's name change (modification) can help lure students to St. Louis and secure its role as a Tier 1 medical hub.
This is awesome. I suspect a new building or two may/could be in the works.
At least for me, I believe this name change flew under the radar because of the COVID-19 crisis as well as antics in Washington.

STL Biz Journal: WashU to absorb University of Health Sciences and Pharmacy in merger
Washington University in St. Louis plans to absorb the University of Health Sciences and Pharmacy and turn its core pharmacy program into a new WashU school, the institutions announced Tuesday, in a deal that would keep the pharmacy college’s Central West End campus operating under WashU control.
Under an agreement subject to regulatory approvals, UHSP’s Doctor of Pharmacy program will become Washington University’s 10th academic school, to be known as the WashU St. Louis College of Pharmacy. Other UHSP programs will continue through the end of the 2026-27 academic year, when some will transition to WashU.
UHSP’s campus, located at 1 Pharmacy Place in St. Louis’ Central West End near Washington University’s medical campus and Barnes-Jewish Hospital, is expected to remain in use. The city says it has an appraised value of nearly $8 million. The pharmacy program is anticipated to continue operating from its current facilities for the foreseeable future, officials said, though future planning will fall under WashU’s broader campus oversight.
In its most recent IRS filing, covering the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, UHSP reported 670 employees, about $42 million in total revenue against roughly $58.4 million in expenses, with $250.9 million in assets and $110.2 million in liabilities at year’s end.
