The Renaissance Project, a cornerstone of Baylor Scott & White Irving Medical Center’s (BSWI) decade-long modernization program, addressed the challenges of rapid regional growth by delivering a forward-thinking, patient-centered campus. This transformative initiative balanced the need for future-ready facilities with the operational continuity of the existing medical center during construction, establishing it as one of Texas’s largest healthcare projects.

The project encompassed multiple integrated components: a revitalized exterior envelope, a striking new entry lobby (The Point), comprehensive interior renovations, a seven-story patient tower, and a new Central Utility Plant (CUP) to power the campus. The design prioritized adaptability, ensuring the facility could meet evolving healthcare demands while maintaining seamless operations throughout the construction process. Meticulous coordination across all phases minimized disruptions and aligned each element with BSWI’s vision for a modern, healing environment.

• Exterior Envelope Design: Gabriel, who dedicated four years to the project, played a pivotal role in designing and documenting the exterior envelope for all components. His work ensured a cohesive, durable, and aesthetically refined facade that harmonized with the campus’s architectural vision.
• Comprehensive Scope: The project’s major elements included the exterior facelift, enhancing the campus’s visual identity; The Point, a dynamic entry lobby; interior upgrades for improved functionality; a new patient tower for expanded capacity; and the CUP, ensuring operational reliability.
• Collaborative Execution: Over seven years, a talented team, including Gabriel, navigated complex design and construction challenges, delivering a landmark project that elevated the standard of care for the Irving community.
