It’s an unavoidable truth: Once or twice each century, hospital executives have to find the funding, location and capacity to add to existing facilities or...
A conceptual rendering of the new Children's Medical Center Dallas. The facility will share a connecting bridge with nearby William P. Clements Jr. University Hospital.Hospital buildings, much like the patients they house and doctors they develop, have lifespans. After 50 or 60 years, once cutting-edge designs fade into the shadow of newer technologies.
The art of constructing a hospital requires balancing familiarity with the future. Carlos needed a team of medical experts to carry out his complicated operation in June 2020, which was a success. Carlos’ family needed space and a sense of normalcy. In designing the new facility, Tyra and her team implemented areas close to patient rooms for parents and family members and even Children’s staff to take time for themselves.
“An infant communicates with us differently than a toddler, preschooler, an elementary-aged child, a tweener, a teenager or a young adult,” Durovich said.Doctors, nurses and other health providers also had a say in the design. The hospital constructed mock rooms made of styrofoam and ran simulations to see how big the space needed to be and where each outlet should be placed. It’s a tool that Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta used in the construction of a new hospital set to open later this year.
Children's Health CEO Chris Durovich poses for a portrait on Wednesday, Jan. 31, 2024, at Children's Health Specialty Center in Dallas.The relationship between Children’s and UT Southwestern, a public academic medical center, stretches decades. Almost immediately after the two health care giants“We appreciated that the Children’s Medical Center, as much as it was a place where great care was given, still was an old and aging facility,” said UT Southwestern President Dr. Daniel Podolsky.
Increasing interest rates and construction costs are to blame for the skyrocketing price tags on a number of hospital projects nationwide.“It’s more expensive to build anything nowadays than it was two or three years ago,” said Mike Hargrave, principal at medical real estate data firm Revista in Maryland. “And that’s because of inflation of materials like steel and concrete.”
