Roper St. Francis Breaks Ground on New Hospital Campus

The project remains on track for a 2029 completion.

By HFT Staff


Roper St. Francis Healthcare, in partnership with E4H Environments for Health Architecture; Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM); and Barton Malow | Edifice, has officially broken ground on the future Roper Hospital. The $1.2 billion campus is designed to transform healthcare delivery in the Lowcountry, combining advanced technology, resilience planning, and a patient-centered approach. 

The future campus will be the fourth location for Roper Hospital since it opened in downtown Charleston in 1856. 

Upon full buildout, the 805,000-square-foot hospital building will include inpatient beds, an emergency department, critical care beds, operating rooms, a comprehensive imaging department and a hemodialysis unit. The layout integrates procedure rooms from different disciplines on the same floor, allowing for efficient interdepartmental care in cardiac, neurology and endoscopy services. 

Barton Malow | Edifice is leading construction using a target value delivery method, allowing the team to adjust design components while maintaining budgetary integrity. Despite challenges related to seismic conditions, FAA height restrictions and a high-water table, the project remains on track for a 2029 completion.
