Baylor St. Luke’s Builds Houston Medical Campus

Baylor St. Luke’s is building a $1.1 billion medical campus in Houston. Created by Catholic Health Initiatives and Baylor College of Medicine, the project includes a $917 million, 650-bed hospital with two bed towers as well an ambulatory care complex and laboratories for basic and translational research. The 27.5-acre McNair Campus will enable Baylor St. Luke’s to consolidate clinical services currently located at the Texas Medical Center and will also be the future site of the Texas Heart Institute. Ground will be broken in early 2016 on the second inpatient tower, for which HKS is the architect of record. Completion of the entire hospital is expected in 2019.
