PEDIATRIC HEALTHCARE
Most facilities have historically had a children’s component or even a “children’s hospital within a hospital.” In the last 20 years, we have seen an increase in freestanding hospitals that are dedicated to children’s services. SSR has had the opportunity to work with many of the premier children’s hospitals in the country.
As we have worked in these facilities we have seen an evolution of patient care models for children’s services. One example is the evolution of the traditional open bay neonatal intensive care units (NICU) to the introduction of family focused care leading to NICUs with dedicated spaces or private rooms with family zones that allow family members to be involved in the healing process.
Our exposure to the latest trends in healthcare and children’s services, in particular, enables us to bring national experience to our clients that address today’s current issues. Much research continues to be done regarding the impact of the environmental conditions on infant development and pediatric care. SSR is committed to working with our clients to appropriately apply this research to our designs so our clients can provide their patients the best care possible.
COOK CHILDREN’S MEDICAL CENTER
FORT WORTH, TX
SSR has provided consulting engineering services for Cook Children’s Medical Center continuously since 1996. Completed work include the following additions to the hospital: 273,000 SF MOB (Dodson Specialty Clinics Building), 283,000 SF North Tower, 179,000 SF Pavilion, 30,000 SF Outpatient Surgery Department, and 45,000 SF South Extension. SSR also designed other non-hospital buildings at the main campus such as the north garage, data center, office building, and child development center as well as expansions to the south garage and central plant. Renovations have touched every department of the original hospital building including technically-complicated spaces such as the interventional MRI and cardiovascular operating rooms.
To support this growth, SSR has continuously planned the expansion and upgrades of the MEP infrastructure. The considerations have included modifying the existing central utility plant for more than it was originally intended and putting in place provisions for more anticipated future growth.
VANDERBILT CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL
NASHVILLE, TN
Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt recently completed a four-story vertical expansion, adding 170,000 SF of space that will be used to fulfill current and future healthcare needs of children from Tennessee and surrounding states. This expansion brings Children’s Hospital’s inpatient capacity to nearly one million total SF.
The project included an expansion of the existing mechanical penthouse, addition of four new floors, and relocation of the existing heliport. One floor was fit-out as a state-of-the-art inpatient bed floor (NICU and/ or PICU) and the remaining three floors are for future expansion.
As part of the expansion, the design team took the opportunity to propose updates and modifications to the existing facility that increased the energy efficiency of the building. Additionally, the new square footage required infrastructure upgrades for additional capacity, including the installation of a steam turbine chiller.
CINCINNATI CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL
CINCINNATI, OH
The Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center (CCHMC) Location T Clinical Sciences Building is a 446,500 SF facility that will strengthen CCHMC’s nationally-ranked research capabilities. The facility brings together wet labs, dry labs, clinical research areas, and imaging areas into one collaborative space that will change how medical research is conducted throughout the world. In addition to the many research areas, the building includes numerous open collaborative areas to encourage interaction and knowledge sharing among the various research disciplines. Location T was built in the heart of CCHMC’s urban campus; it is bordered on all sides by active research or clinical facilities and is connected to an adjacent research building.
The project was designed and constructed using Integrated Project Delivery, a highly collaborative delivery method that reduces the inefficiencies in a traditional design and construction process. CCHMC is seeking LEED Silver® certification.

In 2012, CHRISTUS Health approved a plan to transform Santa Rosa Hospital’s downtown campus into CHRISTUS Children’s (formerly known as Children’s Hospital of San Antonio). Through an extensive renovation and expansion, the 100-year-old adult and pediatric facility was converted into a 400,000 SF stateof-the-art academic children’s facility. The conversion and update of a historic, 12-story facility was no easy feat. Careful planning by the entire project team resulted in a phased approach to construction that would enable the facility to stay in operation and minimize disruptions to patient care.
