MLMC 3rd Floor | Door Addition in Midlothian, TX

The renovation at Methodist Midlothian Medical Center in Midlothian is complete. The project, filed as the MLMC 3rd Floor Door Addition, involved specific security and accessibility upgrades within the existing 22,966 sq ft facility. The work was registered with TDLR in October 2024 and concluded with its final TDLR accessibility inspection in March 2026.

Located at 1201 E US Highway 287 in Ellis County, the project focused on targeted alterations rather than a full rebuild. The scope included adding a door in the corridor, installing card readers on existing egress doors and one elevator lobby door, and adding a magnetic hold to another elevator lobby door. These changes enhance secure access while maintaining egress safety standards.

The estimated cost for this renovation was $105,422. This figure places the project in the bottom quarter of costs for similar renovation and alteration filings in Ellis County, where the median estimated cost is $230,521. The cost per square foot was calculated at $5, significantly below the county median of $85 per square foot for comparable projects.
