Texas Children s Hospital will break ground on its Austin hospital in May. The hospital at 9835 N. Lake Creek Parkway near Texas 45 was announced last May, but the COVID-19 pandemic has changed some of the initial design plans.
The hospital is now expected to open around February 2024 instead of late 2023. It will open with 52 patient beds and room for expansion, including areas that will not be built out initially and plans for additional buildings, in a 25- to 30-year growth plan, said Michelle Riley-Brown, executive vice president of Texas Children’s Hospital.
The campus will include the 365,000-square-foot hospital and a 170,000-square-foot outpatient specialty medical building. The two buildings will be connected through a glassed-in large lobby. It s a $485 million project that also includes a 1,200-space garage with free parking.
