UNT Health Fort Worth EAD Level 4

UNT Health Fort Worth EAD Level 4 is a $8,700,000 interior renovation of the fourth floor at 3500 Camp Bowie Blvd in Fort Worth. This project focuses on the Carl E. Everett Education & Administration Building, specifically targeting a 10,918 sq ft section of the facility for significant laboratory upgrades. The scope of work includes comprehensive casework replacement and general lab improvements designed to modernize the educational and research environment on that level.

Registered with TDLR in July 2026, the project entered the construction phase with a scheduled start date of September 2026. The filing indicates that plan review is pending, and the entire renovation is targeted for June 2027. This timeline represents a scheduled build window of 269 days, which is longer than the 92-day median for similar renovation and alteration projects in Tarrant County. The extended duration reflects the complexity of upgrading specialized laboratory infrastructure within an active academic campus.

Design and Financial Context

Treanor serves as the design firm of record for this initiative. The estimated cost of $8,700,000 translates to $797 per square foot, a figure that exceeds the Tarrant County median of $79 per square foot for comparable filings. This cost structure is typical for projects involving high-precision laboratory equipment and specialized casework, rather than standard office renovations. The University of North Texas System has six other TDLR-registered projects totaling $20,583,065, indicating an ongoing commitment to facility maintenance and expansion across its campus network.

The surrounding ZIP code 76107 has a population of approximately 31,112 residents, with a median household income of $79,473 according to U.S. Census ACS 2023 estimates. While the project involves public funds, the specific funding source is not detailed in the registration. The registered accessibility specialist for this work is Marcela Abadi Rhoads, ensuring the renovated space meets current accessibility standards during the alteration process.

This renovation is part of a broader portfolio managed by Treanor, which includes other significant university and institutional projects across Texas. The University of North Texas System’s investment in this specific building underscores the importance of maintaining high-quality educational and research facilities in Fort Worth. The completion of this work will result in a modernized fourth floor capable of supporting advanced educational and research activities for the UNT Health Science Center Campus.
