Shannon Medical Center River Crest Renovation & Expansion

Shannon River Crest Hospital in San Angelo is undergoing a significant renovation and expansion valued at $16,000,000. The project, filed with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation as Shannon Medical Center River Crest Renovation & Expansion, will modify the existing 53,473 sq ft facility to meet current psychiatric and hospital code requirements. The work includes an interior renovation and a 598 sq ft addition, with construction starting in December 2025 and scheduled to finish in September 2027.

The facility is located at 1636 Hunters Glen Rd in Tom Green County. According to a listing on careforsanangelo.com, Shannon River Crest Hospital is an 80-bed behavioral health center serving children, adolescents, and adults. The renovation aims to update the existing conditions to align with modern regulatory standards for psychiatric care. This update is part of a broader investment in the Shannon Medical Center system, which has six other TDLR-registered projects in the region totaling $11,295,000.

Project Scope and Design

O' Connell Robertson serves as the design firm of record for this project. The registered accessibility specialist is Susan D Gregonis. The scope specifically targets compliance with current codes, ensuring the facility meets the necessary safety and operational standards for a hospital setting. The estimated cost of $16,000,000 places this project above the county median for renovation and alteration filings in Tom Green County, which is $300,000. The cost per square foot is approximately $299, which is higher than the county median of $95 per square foot.

The project is privately funded on private land for private use. TDLR completed the plan review in August 2025, and the status is now Review Complete. The scheduled build window is 660 days, which is longer than the county median of 122 days for similar projects. This extended timeline reflects the complexity of integrating a new expansion with the existing hospital infrastructure while maintaining compliance with strict healthcare regulations.

Shannon Medical Center is a well-known name in the San Angelo area, with other registered projects including Shannon South Hospital and a physical therapy facility. The design firm, O' Connell Robertson, has also worked on several other projects in the region, including Frio Regional Hospital in Pearsall. The renovation of Shannon River Crest Hospital represents a substantial investment in the local healthcare infrastructure, focusing on behavioral health services for a diverse patient population.
