Construction Forum’s mission is, “To facilitate the collaboration of all the stakeholders in the St. Louis Region’s built environment in creating inclusive, robust employment and economic growth.” The “Forum Focus” podcasts present stories of people who are working to make that vision and mission happen.
Today we’re talking with Joe Lewandowski, a project director for McCarthy Building Companies’ Central Region.
Lewandowski is leading the construction team Phase 3 of the BJC HealthCare Campus Renewal Project. This project entails a replacement for Queeny Tower, located at Kingshighway and Barnes Place. McCarthy was the general contractor on Queeny, which was completed in 1965.
Since joining McCarthy in 2005, he has managed a range of prominent hospital expansion projects, most notably the New Orleans VA Medical Center, a nine-building new campus that replaced critical medical infrastructure damaged by Hurricane Katrina.
The BJC Phase 3 includes the use of innovative technology and a strong focus on diversity and inclusion. Let’s listen to our interview with Joe Lewandowski.
