BJC Memorial Hospital East Medical Office Buildings

This project consisted of core and shell construction for two new three-story Medical Office Buildings (MOB) each with an approximate total area of 70,000 SF. The buildings are located at Memorial Hospital East in Shiloh, Illinois. The buildings are used for hospital outpatient services as well as private physician clinic space and includes a laboratory drawing site, diagnostic imaging, and a number of primary and specialty care divisions.

David Mason + Associates (DMA) and the project team were able to meet the owner’s request to accelerate the project schedule while staying within budget. DMA coordinated with other team members to accommodate energy efficiency and aesthetic requirements stipulated by the architectural team. This project had no change orders due to design errors or omissions. All change orders were directed by the Owner due to the need to accommodate additional tenants in the building.

The Phase I MOB is comprised of steel roof framing, composite floor framing, and shallow footings on ground improvement piers. Concrete roof pads are provided for the mechanical roof top units. The building was opened exactly one year from the day of groundbreaking.

The Phase II MOB included composite steel floor framing and steel bar joist/steel beam roof framing. Concrete roof pads are provided for the mechanical roof top units. Rammed aggregate ground improvement piers were used to support the shallow foundation system. This project also included a concrete structure housing two linear accelerators. During Phase II, DMA generated structural construction documents.
