Baptist St. Anthony's Hospital

The structure of this project consists of a six-story concrete tower addition connected to an adjacent new structural steel tower via a multi-level pedestrian bridge. One of the particular structural challenges included achieving a very limited floor to floor height to match the existing hospital floor to floor height. The six-story main building was designed for two additional levels to be constructed at a future date. The steel portion of the project was also designed for two additional stories as well as significant horizontal expansion of the floor plate. The six-level pedestrian bridge connecting the new addition to the original hospital tower was designed by stacking and interconnecting story-deep steel trusses, allowing for greatly simplified steel erection.
