Construction Update

St. Cloud Hospital construction project by the numbers

  • The SCH expansion project will cost $225 million. This includes the north loading dock, ramp and south parking ramp renovations. Target Field cost approximately $412 million. Mall of America cost more than $650 million.
  • SCH’s addition currently is the largest construction project in Minnesota since Target Field.
  • There are 200 construction workers on-site each day.
  • The current hospital building has nine floors (two underground and seven above ground) and is 954,600 square feet (not including the attached CentraCare Clinic - River Campus).
  • The east tower addition will have 10 floors (three underground and seven above ground) and increase the hospital’s size by 360,000 square feet, slightly smaller than CentraCare Health Plaza at 405,000 square feet.
  • The exterior of the new addition will be brick to match the existing structure. When the addition is complete, masons will have laid 625,000 bricks. If these bricks were laid end to end, they would stretch from the hospital to downtown St. Paul – nearly 80 miles.
