We were a part of a design team for multiple projects for the University of Texas Southwestern (UTSW) Medical Center in Dallas, Texas. These projects included campus master planning, campus site preparation, an 11-story 412,400 square feet biomedical research building, a 500 seat Lecture, and demonstration auditorium, and an 8-story 344,000 square feet biomedical research building.

It also included the master planning of a 15,000-ton Thermal Utilities Plant, the design of phases I and II with 9,000 tons of the thermal utility plant, and medium voltage electric service and distribution for the site. 

The design included facilities for advanced medical research with special utility services, special exhausts, energy conservation planning matching thermal and exhaust minimum requirements with tracking variable volume air supply systems, and auxiliary equipment to minimize shutdown upon failure of equipment.

The research buildings include Animal Research Facilities, P-3 barrier facilities, underground parking, a library, and a multimedia presentation auditorium. These research buildings provide utility service connections and people travel paths to future adjacent research buildings.  The auditorium contains facilities for complete computer and video projection systems, lecture, television pick-up, and transport with associated audio and lighting control.

Finally, the north campus – phase IV was the last phased project that totaled 760,232 GSF of new facilities. It included a 16-story 492,032 square feet research tower with underground parking, and a 268,200 square feet interstitial research support and parking structure, and an expansion of the thermal energy plant, site, and utility infrastructure.
