Texas Woman's University is planning to break ground in 2008 on the $32-million T. Boone Pickens Institute of Health Sciences in Dallas. Combining two of TWU's existing educational sites, the new facility will be located in the Southwestern Medical District at the TWU Parkland location. Accommodating programs in nursing, physical and occupational therapy, healthcare administration, and library science, the 143,000-sf multi-building campus will also house the TWU Stroke Center. The project will include the renovation of an existing facility and the construction of a 50,000-sf education building and a 600-car parking garage. Slated for occupancy in 2010, the center will be constructed in two phases so that classes may continue uninterruptedly. The project will add an estimated 17,000-sf of expanded program space.
