 Growth is the driving force behind a $30 million construction project on the horizon at Progress West HealthCare Center.In early 2009, the Hospital will begin construction of a new medical office building to meet an increased demand for physician office space, as well as a new BJC data center to accommodate current and future information technology (IT) needs. The 60,000-square-foot medical office building and 40,000-square-foot data center are expected to be completed in early 2010. John Antes, PWHC president, says the medical office building expansion is part of a larger plan to bring more primary care and specialty physicians to the southern part of St. Charles County. "The community has responded favorably to having easier access to physicians who are on our campus," says Antes. "We currently have 20,000 square feet of office space leased to multiple specialty practices. Meeting physician and consumer demand for office space will help St. Charles County residents find the specialty health care services they need closer to home in St. Charles County." BJC's primary data center is now located in the Clayton Avenue Building on the Washington University Medical Center campus. The new PWHC facility will become BJC's primary data center, as systems are transitioned over time to the new center. Both the data center and the medical office building and will be built to meet the U.S. Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification, which recognizes green buildings for conserving energy and protecting the environment.
