Looks like half of a recent $10M gift to SLU Medical will go toward the Health Education Center. https://www.slu.edu/news/2025/march/school-of-medicine-transformational-gift.php
The $10 million donation will be strategically allocated to enhance medical education and research at SLU:
- $3 million will establish the Gerald A. Maguire, M.D., and Joanne S. Maguire School of Medicine Cura Personalis Endowed Deanship, ensuring the school can continue to attract and retain visionary leaders committed to advancing SLU’s mission in medical education and patient care.
- $2 million will fund the Gerald A. Maguire, M.D., and Joanne S. Maguire Endowed Chair in Neuropsychiatry Research and Education, supporting groundbreaking research and academic excellence in mental health.
- $5 million will be directed toward a future state-of-the-art Health Education Center to enhance the educational and training experience for students.
Where's the rendering from? Does this involve building on the obscenely large lawn or just tearing down that smaller historic building?
I think Metro should look to improve both the 31 Chouteau and 70 Grand with all this new medical development near that intersection.

Sure looks like it, but let's hope they are just doing that to get the cooler looking buildings into the rendering... plenty of room on that landscaped lot to fit this...PeterXCV wrote: ↑Mar 31, 2025Where's the rendering from?

Definitely looks like they want to demo O’Donnell hall. God forbid they build on that useless patch of grass that no one ever enters.
Chris posted a bunch of renders and a site plan in his Cityscene STL Facebook page.
I'm sure SLU will get what they want but I'll pass lol. They could easily build it 50 feet further north to spare O'Donnel hall and chip away at the handsomely landscaped urban wasteland they've created along Grand but nooooo.
I agree. But it's narrow. I definitely see the argument against.
Look a bit closer at that rendering and you'll notice it's also completely fenced off from Grand.
Of course we have to tear down one of the remaining historic buildings on this section of Grand so that the giant useless "park" that I have never seen anyone use in its 20 years of existence is maintained

Good to see their growth but this is almost comical to tear down that nice oolong building instead of building it anywhere in that lawn. I’m so confused at how a group of people could come to this conclusion. They could literally go right next to it

I forget who pointed it out, but there was a quarry where the park is. It might be that the fill covering the quarry won't hold a building of that scale. That said, the fence is . . . annoying. The building is nice enough. I was much more worried about SLU's existing medical school, which is just too cool for words. Maybe there's a way to build on the fill? A "grillage" foundation, Chicago school style? Deep piles? Or just dig down into the fill to bedrock and have a somewhat less expensive basement than most? Or five basements.
The quarry was at Grand and Chouteau. I call BS on whether you could building something at the corner, maybe not something tall and heavy, but something. Idk about further south.

I guess this is in that huge blight map... there's probably no review right?
