Denton A. Cooley Building - Texas Heart Institute

Architecture and interior design services were provided to support the state-of-the-art 327,000 square-foot medical facility that also serves as a teaching hospital and Center of Excellence. Programmatic needs required a unique combination of directly aligned functions: an auditorium, a museum, surgical suites, surgical viewing domes, critical care units, executive offices, and research laboratories. The 10-story facility includes a learning resource center with computer lab, a research library, classrooms, a 325-seat auditorium (expandable to 500 seats), and a teaching museum. State-of-the-art audiovisual systems and excellent acoustics initiated recognition for this venue by local medical institutions.
