So many amazing things about this project embody the spirit of Bob Clark Beyond.

The Gary C. Werths Building at Siteman Cancer Center is a powerful reminder that construction, at its best, serves something much bigger than the building itself. From the outside, the architecture is beautiful and confident. The DNA strand-inspired curtain wall, rendered in Siteman's signature blue, reflects the importance of the work happening inside and the respect owed to the people who rely on it every day.

‍

This was a complex project, 657,000 square feet delivered on time and under budget. That does not happen by chance. It happens when teams are aligned, when accountability matters, and when the mission is clear from the start. The goal was never just to finish a building. The goal was to create a place that would support meaningful work for decades to come.

‍

Inside, the building supports incredible scientific research in the search for a cure for cancer. It is designed to help clinicians and researchers do what they do best, while keeping patient care at the center of every decision. Patients and families experience spaces that prioritize dignity, comfort, and clarity during moments that can feel overwhelming. That focus on people is what gives the building its true value. This facility will serve 200,000 new patients annually—a scale of impact that defines what purposeful construction means.

‍

The facility is now certified LEED Gold, achieving a 16% embodied carbon reduction that represents 4.2 million kilograms of CO2 equivalent saved. Building in a sustainable way is not separate from the mission. It is part of it. A healthcare environment should promote health in every sense, from the quality of care delivered inside the building to the impact the building has on the world outside its walls.

‍

When we build with intention, discipline, and purpose, the result is more than a structure. It becomes a place where progress, healing, and hope can move forward together.
