BJC Hospital in St. Louis was out of parking spaces on their ever expanding campus, and one solution was to expand the North Garage built by KCI in 2001. The new garage was built on drilled piers, with the new entry ramp and three parking levels being constructed of cast-in-place, post-tensioned concrete. Precast panels were salvaged from the original garage and reinstalled on the new facade. Additional spaces were opened in the existing garage with completion of an adjacent asphalt surface lot for valet services. Construction was completed in eleven months, while working in the middle of a busy hospital campus and rerouting traffic within the garage during construction.
