ST. LOUIS — The new $34 million Ronald McDonald House that will expand and replace two existing St. Louis facilities will open this summer.
The new larger house, with four floors and 76,000 square feet at 4321 Chouteau Ave. in Forest Park Southeast, will replace two older locations run by the nonprofit Ronald McDonald House Charities of St. Louis, on Park Avenue and West Pine.
Construction on the new building will be complete this summer, according to a news release from the architect, St. Louis-based Lawrence Group.
Families stay at Ronald McDonald House for free while their children receive treatment at the three major St. Louis area pediatric hospitals — St. Louis Children’s Hospital, SSM Health Cardinal Glenn Children’s Hospital and Shriners Hospital for Children-St. Louis, all in the Midtown area near the new house.
