The BJC Institute of Health at Washington University, located at 425 South Euclid Avenue in St. Louis, Missouri, is a leading institution in the field of health and research. This 680,000 square-foot facility, supported by a generous naming gift from BJC HealthCare, is home to state-of-the-art laboratories and research support facilities. The building, opened in December 2009, is Washington University's largest and is designed to be environmentally sustainable, achieving Gold LEED certification.

In December 2021, the university announced a significant expansion on top of the existing building, adding 160,000 square feet of laboratory space including a biosafety level 3 laboratory for research on infectious viruses. The institute is a hub for cutting-edge medical research and education, with a focus on innovation and excellence in patient care.

The BJC Institute of Health is surrounded by The Ellen S. Clark Hope Plaza, a beautiful outdoor space designed by artist Maya Lin. The plaza honors the memory of Ellen Clark and is a place for reflection and inspiration. Washington University School of Medicine is consistently ranked as a top medical school for research, and plays a key role in the St. Louis biotech and startup community.
