Engineering Is for Kids

For some three decades, Walter P Moore has partnered with Texas Children’s Hospital to shape one of the most advanced facilities in the world.

Texas Children’s Hospital talks of “two million patient encounters a year.” Since the object of these encounters is kids in need of cancer treatment, heart surgery, organ transplants, and premature birth and pediatric care, the object of our engineering is to give children from around the world the opportunity of a lifetime – a normal life.

More so, perhaps, than any other built environment, hospitals evolve. Healthcare treatment and delivery change. Medical equipment advances. Our structural, civil and traffic engineers can trace this evolution across more than two million square feet of new and renovated space engineered by Walter P Moore for Texas Children’s Hospital. Spaces that house diagnostics, operating rooms, ICU, clinics, patient care rooms, cath labs, research facilities and administrative offices. Buildings that include the 17-story Clinical Care Center, the original five-story and subsequent 15-story addition to the West Tower, and the adaptive-reuse of Feigin Center from patient care to dedicated research facility.

Shortly before a 100-year flood paralyzed most of the surrounding medical center and much of Houston in 2001, we recommended and implemented a flood mitigation program for the Hospital that kept it fully operative.

A member of the Hospital’s board once said of our work that it enabled him to get a good night’s sleep. His statement reflects what it means to engineer for kids.
