Texas Children’s Hospital Pavilion Tower II Renovation

Market:

Healthcare

Bellows Construction + CannonDesign transformed the former Baylor Clinic through a 143,000,000-SF renovation and skybridge addition. The new tower, connected to the Pavilion for Women via the newly built 7,700-SF skybridge, houses outpatient clinics, including The Women’s Specialists of Houston, Partners in OB/GYN Care, and Women’s Physical Therapy. Patients of these clinics will now enjoy expanded waiting areas and exam rooms during their appointments. This 17-month project consisted of a complete demolition and build back of levels 11, 12, and 13 and partial renovation of levels 1 – 10 and 15. The goal for the renovation was to free up space for more labor and delivery beds in the Pavilion for Women. This expansion plan allowed Texas Children’s to increase their delivery volume by about 30% and to have more space for specialized clinics and specific programs that cater to women at every stage of life. The opening of Pavilion Tower II represents the incredible growth in demand for women’s services since Texas Children’s Pavilion for Women opened in 2012.

This expansion project has allowed Texas Children’s to increase delivery volumes significantly, but the added space will also allow them to grow specialized clinics that cater to women.
“This latest milestone is one more indication of the dedication of Texas Children’s Hospital to women’s health. That’s very, very important to me. For the first time in this country, a children’s hospital has embraced women throughout the spectrum of their health care from birth to menopause.”
