WO#168828 Y5.104 & 202 Convert 2 labs into 1 Tissue Culture Room in Dallas, TX

The University of Texas is renovating a 241-square-foot space on the fifth floor of the UTSW Cecil H. and Ida Green Biomedical Research Building in Dallas. The project, filed as WO#168828 Y5.104 & 202, consolidates two existing rooms into a single Tissue Culture Room. Construction is scheduled to finish in December 2026, with work starting in September 2026.

Located at 5323 Harry Hines Blvd, Suite Y. 204, the renovation falls under Dallas County jurisdiction. The scope of work involves the alteration and consolidation of laboratory space to create a dedicated tissue culture environment. The estimated cost for this specific renovation is $153,914. This figure places the project below the median estimated cost for renovation and alteration filings in Dallas County, which stands at $249,002.

Cannon Design serves as the design firm of record for this project. The registered accessibility specialist is Thomas P Wilkins. The TDLR status is Review Complete, indicating that plan review was finalized in October 2026. The project involves public funds and public land, consistent with its owner, The University of Texas.

In terms of scale, the 241-square-foot footprint is significantly smaller than the median size of 4,225 square feet for similar filings in the county. However, the cost per square foot of $639 is higher than the county median of $72 per square foot. This disparity reflects the specialized nature of biomedical laboratory renovations, which often require high-specification materials and systems despite the small physical area.

The University of Texas has six other TDLR-registered projects totaling $71,952,306, including other facilities in Dallas, Austin, and Houston. Cannon Design is associated with six other registered projects totaling $9,368,195. Dallas County’s unemployment rate was 3.3 percent in July 2026.
