📰About The BirthPlace - Phase 1- LDR/Triage
Hendrick Medical Center in Abilene is undertaking a significant renovation at 1900 Pine Street, specifically for the project filed as The BirthPlace - Phase 1- LDR/Triage. This phase covers 2,230 square feet of interior space dedicated to improving patient care infrastructure within the existing facility.
The scope of work for this initial phase includes the construction of four labor and delivery rooms, one of which is an ADA-compliant LDR, along with a dedicated triage area. The triage section consists of two bays, one private room, and a supporting work room. These additions are designed to streamline the intake and delivery processes for the medical center.
HDR serves as the design firm of record for this project, which is privately funded on private land. The estimated cost for this specific phase is $27,300,000. This financial commitment reflects the high level of specialized equipment and structural alterations required for a modern obstetric suite. The registered accessibility specialist for the filing is Stephen D Macphie.
TDLR completed the plan review in February 2026. Construction is scheduled to finish in December 2027, with work officially starting in January 2026. This timeline indicates a substantial build period of approximately two years, allowing for the complex integration of medical systems and accessibility features mandated by the filing.
Project Context and Scale
This renovation is part of a broader portfolio of work by Hendrick Medical Center, which has six other TDLR-registered projects in the region totaling over $61 million. The current project’s estimated cost is above the county median for renovation and alteration filings in Taylor County. Similarly, the cost per square foot of $12,242 is significantly higher than the county median of $89, reflecting the specialized nature of medical facility upgrades compared to general commercial renovations.
The scheduled build window of 699 days is longer than the county median of 109 days for similar project types. This extended duration is typical for healthcare projects that require rigorous safety checks, specialized utility connections, and strict adherence to accessibility standards. The project is located in ZIP code 79601, an area with a population of about 26,917 according to U.S. Census estimates.
