Texas Christian University’s (TCU) Anne Burnett Marion School of Medicine officially opened the Arnold Hall in Fort Worth’s Medical Innovation District in the summer of 2024. The 95,000 SF medical education building features cutting-edge technology and academic spaces to train TCU’s medical students.

The four-story building is equipped with classroom auditoriums, simulation labs, mock operating and patient rooms, office space, and a library for more than 240 medical students, as well as hundreds of faculty and staff.

The building features high-end finishes and unique spaces that can function for education or entertainment purposes, including a two-story assembly hall with a retractable sky fold wall in the middle, which also doubles as a whiteboard.

Tennessee Tech Lab Science Commons Tennessee Tech offers STEM-centered curriculum and challenging coursework to a student body of around 10,000. The school encourages collaborative and impactful research through specialized degree offerings and recently opened a dedicated lab and science building to promote this mission. As one of the largest construction projects on campus to date, the building enhanced the number of laboratory workstations to minimize students waiting for a turn to participate. The new, three-story, 160,000 SF lab and science building hosts parts of Tennessee Tech’s chemistry and biology departments, as well as laboratories for Earth sciences, physics, and environmental sciences. The academic curriculum is supported by an adjacent, single-story 17,577 SF lecture hall as well as a 2,500 SF chilled water plant expansion and major HVAC system. SSR was a key team member in supporting Tennessee Tech with this project. Our commissioning specialists helped problem solve and work through challenges, following through to successful completion.
