Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Plano to Build New Tower

Construction of the new tower is slated to begin in summer 2025, with an expected opening in fall 2028.

Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Plano is growing to meet the healthcare needs of Collin County and surrounding areas with the opening of a six-story garage and a new eight-story tower – an estimated $343 million infrastructure investment aimed at connecting more patients with the quality medical services they seek.  

A new 696-space garage was completed this month. Construction of the new tower is scheduled to begin in summer 2025, with an anticipated opening in fall 2028. 

Plano, and Collin County, have long led North Texas’ population boom. In 2010, Collin County’s population was about 780,000. It grew to more than 1 million by 2020 and was estimated at 1.15 million in 2022. 

Texas Health Plano continues to elevate the acuity of care in neurosciences, heart and vascular and digestive health while also accommodating the trauma and emergency needs of the community. Medical spaces are being designed to offer a comfortable healing environment for consumers while incorporating the latest medical tools and technologies. 

The new West Campus garage is the second six-story parking structure on the hospital campus. This addition brings a net gain of 538 spaces from the original surface lot. The garage has a sky bridge to the adjacent Medical Office 2 building, and electric vehicle charging stations. The new tower will expand capacity for patients who need short-term intensive treatment for serious illnesses and injuries. It will also expand capacity for critical care patients who are being treated for life threatening injuries or illnesses. The new building will be adjacent to an existing tower located on the east end of the hospital campus, where parking spaces and a helipad are currently located. The helipad will be relocated to the roof of the new tower. 

When completed, the hospital will have close to 400 licensed acute/critical care beds – up from 230. The total number of beds at the hospital will be 563, including those designated for patients in Behavioral Health and Women and Infants. A basement will connect to current service corridors and house a new expanded pharmacy department. 

Texas Health Plano recently completed expansion of the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). The unit has 42 NICU beds, including two rooms dedicated for twins and triplets. The expansion added seven private, hotel-style rooms to accommodate families of infants who will spend several days or months receiving specialized care. 

Construction is also underway on a new operating room for advanced neuroscience and heart and vascular medical procedures. The new room is the second of its kind at Texas Health Plano equipped with breakthrough technology in neurosurgery that is designed for multi-disciplinary usage such as interventional neurology, cardiology, and various surgeries. Additionally, it will serve patients who are undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacements (TAVR) or other medical procedures, including endovascular aneurysm repair and removing blood clots from arteries.
