CEG CORRESPONDENT
The $270 million project launched last summer and clinical services on the campus are scheduled to start before the end of 2019.
The Texas Health Hospital being constructed in Frisco, Texas, will be much more than a typical hospital. It is referred to as a medical campus because it will have a hospital and medical office building and it will share the site with Texas Health and University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center. The sprawling campus will bring an acute care hospital and multispecialty clinic complex to a rapidly growing part of Collin County. The $270 million project launched last summer and clinical services on the campus are scheduled to start before the end of 2019. Located on 20 acres off the Dallas North Tollway in northwest Collin County, Texas Health Frisco will feature a 325,000-sq.-ft.,
80-bed acute care hospital that will include a 24-7 emergency room, surgical services, women’s services and a neonatal intensive care unit. A parking garage and surface parking lot also are being built. The garage lot will have decks with 600 parking spaces. The surface lot will have 336 parking spaces. The hospital is being built on a vacant lot, formerly used for farming. The site is adjacent to an existing neighborhood. “We have some plans in the works to commemorate the legacy of the former farm see HOSPITAL page 12
McConaughey ‘Minister of Culture’ at New $338M UT Arena The University of Texas at Austin (UT) and a group led by the Oak View Group (OVG) will build a world-class arena on campus that will be home to Texas Men’s and Women’s basketball games, graduations, concerts and other events. It is expected to be opened in 2021. The innovative 35-year agreement between UT and ArenaCo — which includes OVG, Live Nation, C3 Presents
and Matthew McConaughey — will be groundbreaking in college athletics and provide a public benefit for UT and the city of Austin for decades to come. The $338 million venue will be constructed on land fully owned by UT without using any university or public money. The arena will be located on a current parking lot south of Mike A. Myers Stadium. It will replace the 41-year-old Frank C.
Erwin Center, which will make way for the future expansion of the Dell Medical School. UT may be responsible for certain infrastructure improvements near the site to make it ready for construction. “UT’s historic agreement with this highly-regarded company will result in a modern arena on campus for our students, alumni, supporters and The $338 million venue will be constructed on land fully owned by UT withsee ARENA page 19
