CHST Plano Sterilizer Replacement

The Children's Health Medical Center Plano facility at 7601 Preston Rd in Collin County is undergoing a targeted renovation of its central sterile department. The project, filed as CHST Plano Sterilizer Replacement, involves altering an existing storage alcove and sterilizer room to accommodate two upgraded units and add one new sterilizer. The total estimated cost for this 230 sq ft scope of work is $728,000.

Children's Health serves as the owner of record for this privately funded project on private land. E4H Architecture is the registered design firm responsible for the project plans. Casey Joe Anderson is the registered accessibility specialist associated with the filing. The work is classified as a Renovation/Alteration, focusing specifically on medical equipment infrastructure rather than general facility expansion.

Project Timeline and Status

TDLR completed the plan review process in March 2025. Construction was scheduled to begin in April 2025, with a planned completion date of November 2025. Despite the passing of this scheduled end date, TDLR has not yet recorded a final inspection. Consequently, the current state of the site is not confirmed in the public record. The project status remains Review Complete, indicating that the administrative review phase is finished but the physical completion is not officially verified.

This renovation is part of a broader portfolio of work by Children's Health. The organization has six other TDLR-registered projects totaling $6,295,000, including facilities in Dallas and Prosper. Most of these other projects are marked as closed. E4H Architecture has also designed six other registered projects totaling $6,224,179, with several in the Dallas-Fort Worth area marked as review complete or registered.

In terms of scale, this project’s cost is above the county median for renovation and alteration filings in Collin County. The estimated cost places it in the top quarter of comparable projects. The scheduled build window of 202 days is longer than the county median of 92 days. The cost per square foot is significantly higher than the county median, reflecting the specialized nature of medical equipment installation and sterilizer room upgrades.
