A component part of their expansion strategy, Texas Children’s participated in the Austin Green Building Council to ensure the design, build and sustainment of a healthy facility. The project site drains to an ephemeral stream in a designated Critical Water Quality Zone in Austin. In addition to full landscape architecture services, TBG was enlisted to design restorative improvements to the stream in collaboration with engineers, ecologists, and Austin Watershed Protection. The solution consists of channel restoration paired with a retention pond that provides flood mitigation and water quality enhancement for runoff from the development of the hospital. Inspired by organic forms found in Central Texas ecology, a curvilinear paseo connects the hospital and parking garage and serves as a unifying element to create, organize and separate spaces for respite.
