Renovation projects set to begin at St. Luike’s

More than $12 million in renovations of operating room suites and waiting areas are included in a multiphase remodeling program at St. Luke's Hospital, in Chesterfield.

The program will increase efficiency through better location of services and improve clinical quality with technology enhancements and redesigned clinician space, a hospital spokeswoman said today.

Renovations are scheduled to begin in February on the hospital's second floor, said the spokeswoman, Rebecca Largent. Relocated and expanded lab services will be part of the work.

Construction will be phased over three years to allow uninterrupted services and to maintain patient capacity.

Projects covering 38,000 square feet will cover work on the entire second floor of St. Luke's West Medical Office Building and part of the second floor of the main hospital.

Archimages Inc., of St. Louis, is the architect. McCarthy Building Cos. is the contractor.

The primary goal of this project is to continually focus on increasing comfort and privacy for patients and their families, while enhancing operational efficiencies, Don Miller, St. Luke's vice president of operations, said in a statement.
