The building project consists of a seven-story, plus basement and mechanical penthouse, 324,445-square foot facility constructed on the east side of the Patient Care Tower at the University of Missouri-Columbia.

The building has contiguous floors to the Patient Care Tower, which will include separate program elements for supporting Women’s and Children’s Hospital consolidation.

The project includes an elevated skybridge connection to the University Physician’s Medical Building, visually and functionally linking it to the NextGen Precision Health campus area.

A key principle in the initial conceptual design focused on a bed pavilion that delivers high efficiency/high-quality health care, that will have adequate shelled space to provide the ability and flexibility to meet future health care needs of the community.
