About 200 patients were transferred this weekend from the old inpatient building to the new facility, the Grand New SSM Health St. Louis University Hospital.
The 600,000-square-foot replacement for the original St. Louis University Hospital has 10 floors, 316 private patient rooms, an emergency department, intensive care unit and space for short-term stays and observation.
Plans for the old building, which is connected via skywalks, have not been determined, but hospital officials said it will not be demolished.
