Our team was hired as a design-build partner to provide design, procurement, construction, testing, and commissioning of the 1.8MW solar array canopy that now sitst atop the existing 8-story concrete east parking garage located at Barnes Jewish Hospital. A first of its kind, Ameren and BJC partnered together to launch this renewable energy program. With the help of Ameren and the Sachs team, the healthcare facility commissioned a solar array canopy which consisted of 4,575 solar panels – the area equivalent of two football fields – to transform unused space with unobstructed sun exposure into an energy producing, renewable site producing an average of 200,000 megawatts of solar energy each month.
