From its specially designed entrances, to the wonderful children’s amphitheater, to the every detail, it is evident that the design process used in developing every aspect of the project was framed with the future in mind. And in how this would impact the future of Central Texas by helping improve how our young ones are cared for. The evening will offer a rare glimpse into a new facility that "will serve as a beacon of opportunity for a shift in the way healthcare projects will be approached."
This is a one-of-a-kind medical center from the ground up, to keep kids inspired, energized and engaged throughout treatment. Amidst the pediatric medical “know-how” and technology, Dell Children’s brings together the healing powers of nature, art and family. This total healing environment includes seven courtyards that represent the seven ecosystems of our 46-county service area, healing gardens, a towering waterfall, windows placed for optimal natural lighting, family lounges, a sibling clubhouse, a family resource center, and a collection of healing art, sculpture and photography unmatched in any medical facility. What’s more, the entire complex is constructed with “green building” principles, and stands committed to sustainable site planning, water, energy, and materials conservation in addition to indoor environmental quality.
Dell Children’s Medical Center of Central Texas is on track to becoming the first hospital in the world to achieve Platinum Status under the Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED) program sponsored by the U.S. Green Building Council.
Dr. Bob Bonar started his career in healthcare during the 1970’s as a hospital based street and flight paramedic.
