As part of its detailed strategic plan to increase hospital capacity and modernize its facilities to better serve future generations, Roper St. Francis Healthcare is relocating and establishing a new medical campus. The joint venture team of Barton Malow and Edifice General Contractors has begun construction on the project, which will establish the future Roper Hospital Medical Campus in North Charleston and give patients easier access to care, closer to where they live and work. Barton Malow and Edifice General Contractors bring together their comprehensive backgrounds in industry-leading healthcare innovation and extensive local experience.
The new 27-acre campus will be centralized around the replacement hospital. Spread across two levels of podium, the first levels of the hospital will feature spaces designed to welcome patients like the lobby and cafeteria. In addition, the first level includes state-of-the-art care facilities, including an emergency department, imaging services, and Radiation Therapy. Continuing to the second level, patients and staff will find interventional services such as Cath and Radiology, surgical suites, the pharmacy, and more.
Above the main levels, a nine-story 320-bed tower will house many other services, including Intensive Care, In-Patient Surgical Nursing, Rehabilitation, and Oncology. An eleventh-floor helipad will provide direct access to a trauma elevator to the first floor. Visitor and staff parking garages and a separate medical office building will also support the hospital.
Our team is honored to support Roper St. Francis Healthcare as they embark on this new campus, aimed at better serving future generations in and around Charleston.
