The bathroom PODs reduced labor, materials, waste, costs and increased speed to occupancy for the project.
The SSM Health Saint Louis University Hospital features 802,000 square feet of space, 316 private patient rooms, an expanded Level I trauma center and emergency department, intensive care units, patient parking, green space and areas for future campus expansion.
The design incorporates numerous elements to promote instruction, including expanded hallways for doctors and residents to meet informally. The hospital also features green space and natural light to create a healing environment for patients.
The modular bathrooms were produced without a floor and hoisted from the top of the POD. T.J. Wies constructed the bathrooms with steel framing so the PODs could support themselves throughout the fabrication and hoisting process.
When the POD’s were finished, they were arranged in order according to the Hospital’s delivery schedule and shipped to the jobsite. Once onsite, the PODs were unloaded and set into their respective location.
Due to the odd shape of the bathrooms, as well as not having floors, a combination of 18, 16, and 14 gauge steel was used to support the hoisting process.
294 modular bathroom PODs were installed for the $550 million SSM Health Saint Louis University Hospital, reducing costs while increasing speed to occupancy for the project.
Due to the odd shape of the bathrooms, as well as not having floors, a combination of 18, 16, and 14 gauge steel was used to support the hoisting process.
The RFP for the modular bathrooms started with 8 different models, but ended with 25 different designs due to patient room space constraints – some designs were less than 2 inches different.
