Lawrence Group, in partnership with HKS, is leading the design of SSM Health’s new Cardinal Glennon Children’s Hospital, a state-of-the-art facility set to redefine pediatric healthcare in St. Louis. Currently under construction at Chouteau Avenue and Grand Boulevard, the 505,092-square-foot, 14-story hospital will provide more than 200 inpatient beds and expanded services, including neonatal and pediatric intensive care, cardiology, cancer treatment, and dialysis care. Designed with a focus on patient and family-centered care, the facility will incorporate cutting-edge medical technology, research, and innovative healing environments to support the next generation of pediatric healthcare. This project reinforces SSM Health’s commitment to providing high-quality, accessible care while strengthening its academic medical campus.
The new hospital, set to open in 2027, will replace the current 195-bed SSM Health Cardinal Glennon facility at 1465 S. Grand Blvd. In collaboration with McCarthy Building Companies as the construction lead, this project will serve as a world-class healthcare environment that meets the evolving needs of patients, families, and medical professionals.
