Texas Children's Hospital Feigin Center has been named Best Research Project of 2009 by Texas Construction Magazine. The project will go on to compete against other top regional winners in the National Best of 2009 Awards.

The vertical expansion of Texas Children’s Hospital’s Feigin Center added eight floors to the existing building, creating a 20-story research tower focused on the advancement of pediatric medicine. The project added more than 200,000 sf for research laboratories, clinical research offices and a simulation training center. The new building sets the aesthetic for the institution’s new millennium campus as its tallest structure and iconic eastern gateway.

Other project team members included W.S. Bellows Construction Corporation; Burns Delatte McCoy, Inc.; Walter P Moore; Inventure Design; Peter M. Muller, Inc.; Persohn/Hahn Assoc.; Charles Tapley / White Oak Studio; Michael J. Smith; and Kroll. Photography was completed by Aker/Zvonkovic Photography.

Texas Construction’s Best of 2009 Awards Program is an annual competition that recognizes commercial construction and design excellence from across Texas and Oklahoma. An independent jury of industry experts judged more than 150 nominated projects for the 2009 competition. The jury awarded projects based on entry criteria including safety; innovation; contribution to the community or industry; construction quality and craftsmanship; and function and aesthetic quality of design. Award winners will be featured in the December issue of Texas Construction.
