St. Louis, MO - St. Louis College of Pharmacy continues to undergo a campus wide transformation improving the educational landscape of St. Louis medicine.  As part of the second phase of this transformation, a new 193,000 square foot, seven story mixed use building will serve the College of Pharmacy student’s needs.  The building consists of a 220 bed dormitory, gymnasium and fitness center, student dining facility and support offices. 

Guarantee Electrical Company (GECO) was the electrical construction and systems contractor for both Phase I and Phase II of this continued transformation, once again working as a subcontractor for PARIC Corp.  GECO’s history of performance in both education and healthcare markets was a critical factor in keeping the same construction team together on both phases on the BJC campus. Doug Mertzlufft, President of Guarantee Electrical Company added, “We are thrilled to be part of this great project and equally honored to be part of the construction team bringing continuity to the strategic plans for St. Louis College of Pharmacy’s growth and their students future success.” 

Working as a turnkey electrical contractor, after demolition to the existing Whelpley Hall was complete Guarantee immediately brought temporary electrical power to the new construction site as well as relocation of existing underground fiber.  Being in a tight urban construction setting, it was critical that GECO’s electrical design and prefabrication capabilities allow for just in time delivery for all of the dorm room electrical needs, reducing jobsite laydown and clutter.  Today’s modern dorm rooms allow for all of the amenities of an urban apartment.  To accommodate these needs, the building consists of full 4000 amp service, LED lighting throughout and all of the technological and campus safety needs for students.  As such GECO Systems was responsible for installation of all card access, card reader alerts, fire alarm, paging, CCTV, Coax TV, Phone/Data and mass notification required to meet such demands.
