MHWMC South Tower Entrance Renovation in Shenandoah, TX

The renovation of the South Tower entrance at Memorial Hermann Hospital in Shenandoah is complete. The project, filed with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation as the MHWMC South Tower Entrance Renovation, passed its final TDLR accessibility inspection in August 2026. This confirms that the construction work on the ground-floor entry door has concluded and the site is ready for use.

Located at 9250 Pinecroft Dr in Montgomery County, this renovation focused specifically on updating the entry door into the hospital. The scope of work included site demolition and the adjustment of related utilities as required. The total area affected by the renovation was approximately 380 square feet, a modest footprint that reflects the targeted nature of the accessibility improvements.

Project Details and Costs

Memorial Hermann Hospital System acted as the owner of record for this project. The design firm of record was PhiloWilke Partnership, which provided the plans for the renovation. William T Winning served as the registered accessibility specialist, ensuring the work met state standards. The estimated cost for the project was $250,000, which calculates to $658 per square foot.

According to the TDLR filing, the project was registered in June 2025, with plan review completed in the same month. Construction was scheduled to begin in July 2025, with a planned completion date of August 2025. However, the final inspection was not passed until August 2026, indicating that the actual construction timeline extended beyond the initial filing estimates.

Context in the Region

This renovation is part of a broader pattern of accessibility improvements in the area. Memorial Hermann Hospital System has six other TDLR-registered projects in the region, totaling $8,576,760. These include projects in Katy, Houston, Sugar Land, and Shenandoah, such as the Memorial Hermann Tower 4 renovation. The design firm, PhiloWilke Partnership, is also involved in six other projects across Texas, including work at the Shops at Spring Creek and Texas Children's Hospital in The Woodlands.

The project’s cost of $250,000 is close to the county median for renovation and alteration filings in Montgomery County. While the estimated build window of 39 days was shorter than the county median of 92 days, the actual timeline extended significantly. The per-square-foot cost of $658 is above the county median of $85, reflecting the specialized nature of hospital entrance renovations and the inclusion of utility work.
