Cook Children\u2019s Health Care System is set to break ground early next year on the next phase of its expansion<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The hospital system is opening a new $42.9 million parking garage on the west side of the Medical District campus.<\/p>\n

Eline deBruijn Wiggins, communications manager for the hospital system, said the Cook Children\u2019s West Garage will be 309,000 square feet and will accommodate 504 vehicles to better \u201csupport our patients and their families and make parking easily accessible.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are committed to being there for every child and look forward to opening our additional expansions,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

The project, filed<\/a> on a state licensing regulation website Sept. 26, will serve the future West Tower, a new 760,000-square-foot medical tower.<\/p>\n

The parking garage will be on the corner of 8th and Terrell avenues. Project filings also mention a data center and a dock located in the basement. Construction start date is listed as April 1, 2026.<\/p>\n

Cook Children\u2019s West Garage is only a part of the medical system\u2019s growth plan. Within the West Tower is a planned expansion and redesign of the pediatric intensive care unit. The Cook Children\u2019s Heart Center will also see a redesign alongside additional capacity for operating rooms and imaging services.<\/p>\n

Both projects are part of the 10-year master plan, which aims to expand Cook Children\u2019s Health Care System\u2019s Fort Worth campus.<\/p>\n

This expansion comes at a time when the Medical District is seeing significant growth<\/a>, with JPS Health Network, UT Southwestern, Baylor Scott & White Health, Medical City Fort Worth and Texas Health Resources orchestrating expansions or renovations.<\/p>\n
