Siteman Cancer Center – based at Barnes-Jewish Hospital and Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, Missouri – has a new home for outpatient cancer care. The nine-story, 657,250-square-foot Gary C. Werths Cancer Building is located on the Washington University Medical Campus.
Among the building’s features are 101 exam rooms and another 88 private infusion rooms for patients receiving chemotherapy. Patients have access to complete radiology and breast imaging services. The building also includes original artwork created by local artists who have their own personal connection to cancer, as well as a café, pharmacy and parking garage integrated into the facility. An enclosed, elevated walkway connects the building to other areas of the medical campus.
Cancer patients, survivors and their families — together with physicians, nurses, social workers and other caregivers — met with the building’s architects and designers before construction began to share insights aimed at enhancing care and improving the overall experience for patients and their family members. The project team included Lawrence Group, Perkins Eastman, Clayco and Introba.
