In association with Davis Partnership Architects, OLC was retained for the major renovation and expansion of Saint Francis Medical Center in Cape Girardeau, Missouri. The $62 million project adds almost 211,000 sf to the medical center and provides a new major entrance for inpatient services. Enhanced patient, staff, service and visitor circulation form the planning foundation for this new patient tower with an atrium space acting as a central orientation element for the new facility. The project includes a new center for orthopedics and neurosciences, a five-story patient tower with an expanded surgical suite, structured parking and a new main entrance on the facility’s south facade.
