Huitt-Zollars provided site development, grading, utility infrastructure, storm drainage, and storm detention services. The City of Austin, Water and Wastewater Division approved utility improvements. Based on a change in use and configuration of the previously platted lots, the project included vacating several utility easements, relocating water and wastewater, fire and domestic services to the property. Utilities were constructed after street cut permits were issued, and all applicable easements and permits were in place.

The 1111 Pennsylvania Ave project is a medical office building in the heart of the Fort Worth Medical District in Fort Worth, Texas. Stacked as two stories of medical offices on top of two stories of parking spaces, and a first floor for retail and additional office space, this distinctive building will replace an aging single-story one. Offering over 63,000 square-feet and 112 parking spaces this building will change the streetscape of Pennsylvania Ave for the better. Huitt-Zollars provided full architectural, engineering, and construction administration services for this project.

As part of an overall campus expansion and update, a new 9-story patient care tower was designed to integrate with the existing 1-story 1970’s vintage hospital and a 1980’s 4-story addition. The Heart and Vascular Institute occupies 93,486 square-feet on three floors of the new 300,000 square-foot tower. Floor seven and half of floor eight have 65 private beds, with the remainder of the eighth floor containing cardiac non-invasive diagnostic capabilities, including nuclear camera, ultra-fast CT, echo cardiology, holter monitoring and trans-telephonic assistance.

Located mid-campus on the Houston Medical Center, the MD Anderson Cancer Center Administrative Building is a significant component of an area slated for substantial expansion. Morris, a Huitt-Zollars company, provided interior architecture design services. The 420,000-GSF build-out on 7 shelled floors provided administrative office functions, shared conference rooms, break rooms and break out spaces. Over 40 separate tenant groups were integrated along with nearly 2,000 staff members from multiple MD Anderson facilities.

The original scope of work included only the Day Room renovation and the addition of a dedicated Pediatrics and Adolescent Seclusion Room. However, before design of the Day Room began, the Huitt-Zollars team worked with the users to understand their ultimate goals and created a master plan of the space, in order to ensure that future needs could be accommodated. The master plan was utilized in a marketing effort aimed at private donors, and was ultimately incorporated into the scope of the project.

This project consisted of a Public-Private-Partnership or P3 to deliver to the TAMU System a 1,400+, 5-story parking garage in time for the 2016 college football season. Demolition of the former Cain Hall dormitory, which was converted into Student Services offices, began November 16, 2015. The project also required relocating several existing utilities and upgrading some of them to meet the additional demand loads of the new garage and two other new facilities yet to be built.

The patient unit renovations for Ben Taub and LBJ Hospitals were part of an on-going, multi-year, task-order project consisting of the conversion of four-bed patient units to semi-private rooms. Each project renovates one or two patient units at a time, at approximately 10,000 square-feet per unit, in order to minimize the number of beds offline and to reduce interruption to patient care. Ongoing coordination and collaboration with the hospitals’ infection control team and construction manager ensured the ICRA plan was continuously followed and maintained.

Our team worked with stakeholders in each of these three departments to develop a move management strategy in order to complete the necessary remodels and allow each of the three departments to remain open during the remodel process. The diagrams below outline our approach to, first of all, identifying an underutilized portion of the existing medical office building to serve as swing space where each of the three departments would be relocated to while their home location underwent the necessary remodel effort. We identified underutilized space within the medical office building which could

Architecture and interior design services were provided to support the state-of-the-art 327,000 square-foot medical facility that also serves as a teaching hospital and Center of Excellence. Programmatic needs required a unique combination of directly aligned functions: an auditorium, a museum, surgical suites, surgical viewing domes, critical care units, executive offices, and research laboratories. The 10-story facility includes a learning resource center with computer lab, a research library, classrooms, a 325-seat auditorium (expandable to 500 seats), and a teaching museum.

Master planning, architectural, and interior design services were provided for the 260,000 square-foot main campus of the Kelsey-Seybold Clinic, a 13-acre site located near Houston’s Texas Medical Center. The innovative medical campus was designed to resemble a ‘medical mall’ in order to encourage patients to access a variety of health care services in a pedestrian-friendly environment. Full diagnostic services, administrative offices, senior and pediatric centers, an ambulatory surgical unit, medical specialties, and clinics are available.
