Texas Children’s Hospital Feigin Center has received an Honorable Mention award in R&D Magazine’s Laboratory of the Year competition — one of only two honors bestowed in the 2010 competition. The annual international competition, now in its 44th year, recognizes the best new and renovated laboratories that combine all aspects of the building into a superior working environment.

A complex vertical expansion, Feigin Center was designed to enhance collaboration and make research more efficient. The expansion 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 square feet for research laboratories, clinical research offices and a unique pediatric simulation center. The landmark building symbolizes a beacon of hope for the future — and represents the vision of the late Dr. Ralph Feigin and the commitment of Texas Children’s Hospital to forge new frontiers in pediatric care, education and translational research.
