Expansion In Works for $146M Medical Campus

PLANO, TX-Children's Medical Center's mega-plan calls for far more than a $120-million hospital and $26-million ambulatory care center for its 155 acres in Legacy Business Park.

[IMGCAP(1)]PLANO, TX-With the $146-million first phase of its campus nearing completion, Children’s Medical Center is in the process of master planning a 155-acre foothold in a northern tier city with one of the fastest-growing “under-18″ populations in the nation. The goal for its Legacy Business Park land is to amass the largest possible concentration of pediatrics outpatient services.

The board of Children’s Medical Center Dallas has hired FKP Architects Inc. of Houston to develop a plan that, if it comes to fruition, could add high-demand specialties like a pediatrics nursing school, research facilities, school of allied health, school of pharmacy and therapeutic aquatics or equestrian centers to the under-construction campus, which has three-eighths mile frontage along Preston Road and one-quarter mile along Hedgcoxe Road. The master plan is to be done by June so it can be reviewed and ready to go to the board in September, Lou Saksen, vice president of facilities for Children’s Medical Center Dallas, tells GlobeSt.com.

“These are dreams right now,” Saksen stresses. “We haven’t pursued them yet.”
