ST. LOUIS — Construction will soon get underway on a new $61.97 million health sciences building as part of St. Louis Community College’s nearly $500 million facilities update at its four campuses.
The four-story, 100,000-square-foot Center for Nursing and Health Sciences building will be built on the STLCC's Florissant Valley campus, located at 3400 Pershall Road in Ferguson in north St. Louis County.
A groundbreaking event is scheduled for July 19 for the building. Construction is expected to be completed by fall 2024, according to the college.
PARIC Corp. is serving as the general contractor for the project, after being chosen through a competitive selection process. KAI is the architect for the project, which will expand capacity for STLCC's nursing, dental hygiene and radiology technology programs, college officials said. The project also includes state-of-the-art equipment and simulator labs to train students for careers in emergency medical and paramedic technology, officials said.
