Baylor Scott & White
The hospital incorporates high-tech design accents inside and out to give the facility a futuristic appearance. Architectural and engineering features include a drilled pier foundation, a basement level 20' below grade, and an exterior glass curtain wall and window as well as brick and pre-cast concrete with the appearance of limestone. There is also a 12,000 SF utility plant constructed adjacent to the hospital to provide extra services, along with a sky bridge connecting the structure to the medical office tower. A two-story vertical expansion added 48 new patient rooms. The project scope also included a renovation and expansion to other key areas. Christman faced the challenge of working in this fully operational hospital while ensuring there were no disruptions to normal activities. In adding the two new floors, the sixth floor was finished first and the fifth floor second because of the support system and the shoring - which required steel beams for reinforcement. Building Information Modeling (BIM) was utilized.
