Dell Seton Medical Center At The University Of Texas

Dell Seton also replaces the region’s trauma facilities formerly housed in University Medical Center Brackenridge. Ranking in the top 1% of all trauma centres in the US for best patient outcomes, our client’s aim is to improve its performance further through this entire update of its trauma unit.

The core clinical areas are larger and more numerous than those of its predecessor – Dell Seton has 13 operating rooms and 42 emergency beds – and the building has been designed with longevity in mind. The rooms and treatment facilities are expandable and adaptable, and our building services engineers have designed electrical and IT systems with future technological and medical advances in mind to create an infrastructure fit for the 21st century.

By minimising its impact on the environment, Dell Seton is making an important contribution to the health and wellbeing of the wider community, too. The Level 1 trauma centre achieved LEED Gold certification, thanks in part to features including 100 per cent outside air, heat recovery chillers, LED lighting, verdantly-planted internal courtyards accessible to patients, staff and visitors, and the provision of pedestrian and bike paths outside the building.
