Saint Louis University School of Medicine
OWH received the Urban Development Award from the City of St. Louis Heritage and
Urban Design Commission for this addition to the St. Louis University Medical
center campus. The addition, which houses an outpatient clinic for MRI and PET
imaging, was cited for its sensitive integration into the urban fabric. The
treatment rooms are subterranean, and the reception area roof structure forms a
forecourt transition between St. Louis, busy Grand Avenue and Medical Center’s
Desloge Tower.
OWH was also responsible for planning and programming the total renovation of
the 250,000 sq ft Firmin-Desloge Tower at the Medical Center into departmental
medical offices, clinical laboratory, and support space for the Hospital. The
work included coordination with 35 department entities, hospital administration
and St. Louis University. OWH planned a five-phase construction plan to allow
66% occupancy at all times during the construction period.

VA Ambulatory Care Addition / Columbia, Missouri
Completed in January 1998, the 106,000 sq ft, 2-story ambulatory care addition
provides a new main entry to hospital and reorganizes public traffic and parking
to simplify site circulation. The project includes general ambulatory care
clinics and specialty areas for eye, ENT, endoscopy, and pulmonary medicine.
OWH provided planning and full design services for the new addition as well the
associated renovation of the existing facility.

BJC Hospital -- CWE Dialysis Center
OWH provided complete design and architectural services for the renovation of
this once vacant warehouse into a new outpatient dialysis center. Preliminary
site evaluation, site zoning, programmatic needs, and general compliance with
criteria established by the City of St. Louis Urban and Heritage Design
Committee, resulted in a plan which retained the original one-story, brick
structure, but required approximately 12,000 square feet of demolition and
structural reinforcement.
The fully accessible design features parking, a new entry canopy, offices, exam
space, patient/family waiting and dialysis for 32 patients. Of great concern
during the design process was the overall aesthetic directive to promote a
non-institutional look and provide an easily maintainable facility. Natural
light is abundant through the use of both glass block and the newly created
clear glazing. Finish materials and colors were selected for their durability
and maintainability, and utilized neutral warmer tones for upholstery and floor
tile, reinforcing the overall calmness of the space.
