St. Louis University has received city approval to demolish the historic Pevely Dairy complex to make way for a $75 million outpatient surgery center, according to a St. Louis Today report.

The city Planning Commission approved the university’s request after the Preservation Board denied the request to demolish the building in 2011. SLU appealed the Preservation board’s decision, as well as the board’s decision to allow demolition of the complex’s garage and milk plant only after the university obtained building permits for its SLUCare center on the Pevely site.

The commission decided in a separate vote to apply the building permit condition to demolition of the office building. According to the report, a building will be sought just before the project is ready to break ground, and SLU officials hope to begin construction this year.

At the Becker's 23rd Annual Spine, Orthopedic and Pain Management-Driven ASC + The Future of Spine Conference, taking place June 11-13 in Chicago, spine surgeons, orthopedic leaders and ASC executives will come together to explore minimally invasive techniques, ASC growth strategies and innovations shaping the future of outpatient spine care.
