The new Gary C. Werths Building at Siteman Cancer Center (SCC) is nine story state-of-the-art cancer building, located at Forest Park and Taylor Avenues. The 657,250 square foot building emphasizes multi-disciplinary care and enhanced connections between research and clinical care.
The building’s scope includes five floors of clinic space, one being shell space for future expansion, one shell floor for future office space and a 433-car parking garage for patient parking. An enclosed pedestrian connection (link) allows patients, faculty and staff to walk between the ACB and the Center for Advanced Medicine. The programs moving into the building include multi-disciplinary clinics, diagnostic and treatment areas and multi-specialty clinics.
Included in the project are street improvements along Forest Park Avenue, Taylor Avenue and the Forest Park/Taylor intersection to improve traffic flow and patient access to the building.
