ST. LOUIS, Mo. — McCarthy Building Companies, Inc. recently broke ground on an expansion of Mercy Hospital Jefferson’s Crystal City, Missouri campus. The $135-million project will add a three-story patient tower, a new front entrance and a variety of other enhancements to improve the experience for patients, 
staff and visitors.
McCarthy is serving as construction manager for the expansion, which will relocate services and provide improved wayfinding measures, making the hospital easier to navigate. Bates & Associates Architects is designing the project with Heideman Associates, Inc. providing engineering services.
The new tower will tie into the south side of the existing facility and feature 90 private patient rooms. New corridors will connect the tower to the emergency department, imaging, surgical services and admitting areas. The scope of work also includes relocation of the helicopter landing pad and ambulance entrance and renovations to existing patient rooms. Construction is scheduled to be complete by late 2017.
