Overview

The Methodist Southlake Hospital medical campus in Southlake, Texas is a comprehensive healthcare development that includes a surgical hospital, a medical office building, and a structured parking garage. Located on a 15 acre site in the northern Dallas–Fort Worth region, the project transformed a former farm site into a modern medical campus through extensive site preparation and infrastructure improvements. Due to expansive soil conditions, the building pad was excavated to a depth of 12 feet and reconditioned to meet required moisture and compaction standards. Site work included installation of new water, sanitary sewer, and storm sewer lines, an underground stormwater detention system, and more than 239,000 square feet of concrete paving.

Inside, the hospital features a grand entrance atrium along with admitting and administrative spaces, 12 operating rooms, sterile processing and preparation areas, two endoscopy rooms, pre operative and post anesthesia care units, and advanced diagnostic imaging including MRI, CT scan, and radiology and fluoroscopy services. The hospital provides 54 patient beds, including six intensive care unit beds, 48 medical and surgical beds, 10 VIP patient suites, and additional private patient rooms. Supporting departments include a pharmacy, laboratory, and full service kitchen.

More about the project

The campus also includes a four story, 133,000 square foot structured parking garage with capacity for approximately 400 vehicles. The garage is constructed with a post tension cast in place structure and features site cast concrete panels finished with stucco and stone veneer.

Designed as a highly advanced healthcare facility, the campus incorporates a central plant system with water cooled chillers, a remote cooling tower yard, and a heat pump chiller that provides both chilled and heating water to meet energy efficiency goals. Additional systems include hot water, domestic water, and steam boilers, along with specialized cooling systems for imaging equipment. Air distribution is supported by multiple chilled water air handling units and a custom air handling system designed specifically for the operating suites, with dedicated outside air pretreatment to meet strict medical environmental requirements. The facility also features backup generators, automatic transfer switches, and a centralized battery UPS system to maintain continuous power and protect critical medical technology during power interruptions.
