FORT WORTH-Cook Children's Medical Center plans to add a six-story tower at its Fort Worth complex.
The Star-Telegram reports that the hospital will build on the South side of its campus, adding a new emergency department, 12 operating rooms and a heart center, and that the total cost will be in the neighborhood of $350 million for the three-year project. Included in the plans, Cook Children's will also build an urgent-care center at Rosedale Street and Sixth Avenue. The upper two floors of the 314,000-square-foot tower will be left unfinished for further expansion.
In 2009, the center announced a $250 million expansion that increased the size of its campus by about 40%. Most of those new facilities opened in mid-2012, and the last phase, opened this year.
