The four-story, $228 million, 200,000-square-foot St. Jude Tower in Fullerton, Calif., was completed five-months early, according to an article on the Healthcare Construction + Operations website.

The St. Jude Medical Center Northwest Tower replaces an existing tower and has 120 beds and 14 operating rooms that feature minimally invasive and robotic surgeries.

The facility has computers for medical use in every patient room and advanced information systems allowing immediate clinical collaboration.

The project included a 14,000-square-foot central utility plant and a new bridge to connect the tower’s fourth floor to the hospital.

The team used virtual construction and design technology to complete the project. Building information modeling (BIM) 3D, 4D and 5D were used support constructability, cost and schedule issues. 

The building has technological features designed to improve the patient experience, including computers for medical use in every patient room and advanced information systems allowing immediate clinical collaboration.
