Supporting exceptional care.
SSM HEALTH SAINT LOUIS UNIVERSITY MEDICAL CAMPUS RENEWAL
As a trusted partner, Northstar was engaged by SSM Health on the Saint Louis University Medical Campus Renewal, a project with the unique challenge of supporting both exceptional health care services and world-class health professions education. Our work in guiding the team through a common understanding of project objectives and vision laid the foundation for project success.
A clear consensus halts problems before they arise.
During the early stages of facility planning, we established clearly defined guiding principles, decision-making processes and future-state operational strategies to form a functional program which would drive the design of the new facility and form the basis for translational operations planning. Gaining important consensus from all parties, including end-user groups, early on in the project process optimized the final design while minimizing changes, rework time and costs during construction.

Informed decisions ensure budget and schedule compliance.
Decision making can be challenging for a project of this scale and with approval needed by many stakeholders. Through applications such as our owner’s project contingency log which captures all potential scope changes and their cost impact, we facilitated informed and timely decisions, helping our client make value-based choices that supported and protected the project schedule. With our proven processes in place, the project remained on budget and on schedule throughout its entire duration.
