JE Dunn was the CMAR for this Austin acute care hospital with Level 1 Trauma designation that focuses on community health needs, academic medicine, and research. The 520,000-square-foot hospital contains 195 licensed patient beds, including emergency/trauma, radiology, labs, surgery, classrooms, and a new heliport. The replacement facility was designated to be the primary teaching hospital for both the Seton Family of Hospitals and the Dell Medical School at The University of Texas.
JE Dunn self-performed concrete, low-voltage, carpentry, doors, frames, and hardware. The project is located on a tight urban site on University property, making prefabrication work key to delivering on schedule. A designated warehouse allowed JE Dunn to construct building elements early– a benefit to the schedule. It also reduced the number of workers on the project site and gave subcontractors a dedicated place to store materials. The project was awarded LEED Gold Certification.
