The master plan for the Methodist Hospital for Surgery in Addison Texas created an integrated physician – hospital campus through the modeling of the ultimate build-out of the development. While the future needs will modify the proposed layout, the intent was to create a strategy for growth. The master plan recognizes that expansion of the hospital, medical office buildings, and parking will occur in multiple phases. The Hospital was placed to optimize the site for both initial and long term growth. The development strategy outlined public/staff vehicular circulations, zoning of anticipated medical services, as well as critical support areas. Each phase was developed to accommodate specific types of growth and while not compromising the long term vision. A new site selected by the developer and operator changed the course of the project. The proposed site was master planned for a 250 bed hospital and 300,000 sf of medical office buildings (with structured parking).
BOKA Powell led the Strategic Facility Master Planning (FMP) Process for Methodist Dallas Medical Center and the result has been a vision-driven "Centennial Plan" for 2027. The plan will allow the Methodist Dallas facility to become more quaternary, growing inpatient services within its existing inpatient facility with no new construction, and improving wayfinding and circulation throughout the facility. The plan also allows for growth of outpatient services on an expanded campus in more appropriate, accessible and cost effective space. The project’s strategic process included operational benchmarking, department utilization modeling, analysis of space and facilities utilization and departmental adjacency needs, identification of key planning units, collaborative projections development, priorities and phasing recommendations. The plan began with proposed growth of inpatient services within the existing facility footprint, including movement of outpatient and public services off the main campus and improved utilization of existing hospital space. Movement of outpatient services off campus not only allowed for growth of inpatient services and improved flow for patients, staff and visitors, but also inspired the vision for campus expansion into a mixed use Medical District. The FMP process followed four major concepts:
The MHS Regional Ambulatory Facility Plan provided MHS the opportunity to expand its regional footprint by phasing facility growth with a market’s development. We collaborated on an ambulatory facility strategy and created a plan for capturing future market opportunities by creating a facility prototype that provided for staged development from medical office building to an inpatient facility as future need exists. As part of our study to plan for development of a growing medical campus, we master planned medical mixed-use sites in various South Dallas neighborhoods. The plan allowed for a process-oriented growth strategy and included the following components:
The MHS Regional Ambulatory Facility Plan also recognized the opportunity for MHS to expand its primary care footprint beyond South Dallas. MHS senior management directed our team to review select opportunities that would provide avenues for primary services growth for both physicians and ambulatory diagnostics and therapies. We evaluated service niche opportunities and locations that MHS feels is critical to its mission and demographic growth. We identified opportunity sites for primary care services based on market demographics, competitive environment and site location. We also sought to consolidate the Family Health Centers as strategically and financially appropriate and to better understand their referral patterns.
BOKA Powell led the Strategic Facility Master Planning (FMP) Process for Methodist Dallas Medical Center and the result has been a vision-driven &Centennial Plan& for 2027. The Charlton Campus plan includes planning for the appropriate use and organization of increasingly disparate space within the existing facility, bed capacity expansion, improvement of campus circulation, way-finding, and future consolidation of outpatient services. The FMP targeted expansion of the Emergency Department and Support Services as key next steps. The plan includes proposed campus zoning for inpatient services, outpatient services and support components. The inpatient zoning plan includes reserving a location for a future bed tower; the outpatient zoning plan includes planning for the growth of new outpatient MOBs on land currently owned by Methodist Charlton. The project’s strategic process included operational benchmarking, department utilization modeling, analysis of space and facilities utilization and departmental adjacency needs, identification of key planning units, collaborative projections development, priorities and phasing recommendations. The FMP process followed four major concepts:
BOKA Powell worked with Erlanger Health System to develop a masterplan to coordinate the activities of the UTC College of Medicine and Erlanger Hospital into a new mixed-use medical concept that leveraged the individual volumes of these organizations for retail, ambulatory healthcare, medical office, University, clinical and workforce housing.
BOKA Powell provided interior renovation services for the 20,000 square foot Pediatric Unit at the world renown Parkland Memorial Hospital. Dallas Chapter AIA Honor Award Healthcare Interior Design
BOKA Powell managed the coordination and development of a multi-tenant medically-oriented facility on the Texas A&M Health Science Center Campus in Bryan, Texas. The project involves facility design development, as well as programming and space planning for each of the tenants. The facility will include both clinical and academic components, including the Texas Brain and Spine Institute, the Texas A&M Family Medicine Residency Program and Behavioral Medicine Program, and the Blinn College Allied Health Programs. The Clinical Spaces include the Texas Brain and Spine Institute which houses a Neuro-Spine Clinic as well as Physical Therapy and Imaging Components. The Texas A&M Physicians space includes a Family Residency Program as well as Behavioral Medicine Residency and Private Practice Programs. The facility allows for segregation of patient populations as well as a separate identity for each of the clinical programs from the entrance and lobby areas to the individual departmental components within the facility. The Academic Space includes Allied Health Programs for Blinn College and allows for the relocation and growth of six existing programs, the addition of two new programs, and opportunities for the coordination of all programs within a single facility as well as a new, more authentic-feeling clinical learning environment for students via a simulated hospital.
BOKA Powell began a strategic planning process to understand the future growth of Blinn College Allied Health Programs. The process evaluated the existing Allied Health Programs, their current enrollment, existing resources, curriculum, degree plans, implementation of new teaching methods and future growth influencers. The process also included identification of potential for future programs in order to evaluate expected resource expansion. The process involved directors of each of the Allied Health Programs, the Allied Health Programs Division Chair, the Vice President of Applied Sciences, the Dean of Institutional Effectiveness and Accreditation, the Executive Director of Facilities, the Chief Financial Officer and President/ CEO of the College. The group held brainstorming sessions to discuss program needs and identify growth influencers for each of the individual programs. We identified both positive and negative growth influencers for individual programs and globally, across all programs. We evaluated program capacities based on existing enrollment, curriculum and degree contact hours, and program resources. A plan for the future program growth and resources of Blinn College of Allied Health will be developed based on:
Plan the Methodist Dallas Medical Center Mixed Use Medical District as part of the Centennial Vision, beginning with development of new MOB to separate and grow outpatient services apart from the existing campus. As appropriate, continue to add outpatient facility(ies) or primary care MOBs to accommodate outpatient care and administrative components that do not need to be located in an inpatient hospital setting. Develop Medical District with appropriate complementary components, to include the following or similar types of facilities:
BOKA Powell designed the new 80,000 SF Headquarter for Horizon Health on Lake Vista Drive in Lewisville, Texas. The site is located in the heart of a growing commercial corridor, along a picturesque lake front. The building diagram consists of two main wings of office/tenant space flanking a central lobby. The lobby extends through the entire width of the building, providing sweeping views of the lake beyond. Keeping the service cores to a minimum, the overall plan is conducive to both single-tenant and multi-tenant scenarios, providing long-term flexibility for the owner. The exterior elevation is terminated at the four corners with full-height curtain wall, providing glass corner offices that maximize the views of the lake. Glass stair towers at each end allow natural light to penetrate into the building, encouraging the use of the stairs. The site landscaping concept includes an entry plaza, and strategically designed planting and walkways that connect to the existing jogging trails around the lake. The interior design focuses on connectivity and adjacencies within the different departments at Horizon Health Corporation. Amenities include an exterior patio overlooking the water, providing a relaxing space to eat and mingle. The materials and colors used throughout the interiors focus on bringing the calm and serenity of nature into the building.

BOKA Powell designed this 130,780 sf shell building in Las Colinas, Texas for Cigna as part of a developer team. The floor plate of the building is designed to maximize useable square footage and allow for flexibility in making future modifications to the space. The unique exterior skin system features an exposed structural system, which eliminated the need for precast fabrication and delivery and allowed the building to be developed on a very fast track. Functions including R&D labs, software labs, testing labs, a training center, data center, machine shop, and general office functions. Departmental adjacencies were organized to synergize the company’s business model by fostering an interactive atmosphere that encourages collaborative problem solving. The spaces were designed in a collaborative effort with both the corporate leadership, as well as users of the space, with the goal of creating a timeless and sophisticated space that would meet strict budget and scheduling requirements. Concurrently, BOKA Powell was contracted directly by Cigna to create Interior Construction Documents, based on a space plan provided by Cigna’s in-house interior design team. BOKA Powell worked closely with Cigna and the developer to ensure that the shell building and interiors worked together to maximize efficiency and value for the project as a whole.
BOKA Powell has recently completed the design for the first phase of a new medical/professional office complex in Rancho Mirage, California. Developed by American Medical Office Partners, Inc. and located on Bob Hope Drive, minutes away from the Eisenhower Hospital complex and Betty Ford Clinic in Palm Springs, this facility is the largest office project approved in the area in almost 20 years. The project consists of two separate office buildings of 49,000 SF each with separate adjoining open parking garages. The façade has a sophisticated desert style that harmonizes with the aesthetics of the region. The building is sited to take full advantage of the desert mountain views. The project is in collaboration with William Graves Architect.
The headquarters campus for Tenet Corporate Headquarters is comprised of a 16-story build-to-suit for Tenet Healthcare and a 13-story building as a companion for allied vendors. Both buildings feature a dramatic two-story lobby detailed with wood and stone. The floor plates are deep and efficient with a compact core area. The 15th and 16th floors include a two-story executive lobby with a cascading staircase. The buildings and adjacent garage are attached with a conditioned concourse level, with executive parking accommodated in the basement level. BOKA Powell designed, created, and construction documented the buildings for Hines Interests.
BOKA Powell was commissioned to design a new 31,000 SF medical office building in Plano, Texas. Located near Presbyterian Hospital of Plano, this two story shell office structure houses doctor groups who desire to own their office space rather than lease. The building is a contemporary architectural design located on a 3.4 acre site. Parking for 174 cars is provided. As well as doing the shell design, BOKA Powell has maintained involvement in the design and finish out of several doctor suites within the building. Construction was completed in the fall of 2003.
