FRISCO, TX—Baylor Scott & White Health–the largest not-for-profit health care system in Texas–together with the Dallas Cowboys, broke ground in 2016 on a game-changing facility that is located at The Star, home of the new Dallas Cowboys world headquarters. The topping out celebration for the Baylor Scott & White Sports Therapy & Research at The Star was this week.

Slated for completion in early 2018, the 300,000-square-foot campus is expected to become a model for the holistic treatment of physically active individuals, using the best techniques in injury prevention, performance, recovery, education and research. It is also a first-of-its kind collaboration between an NFL team, a health system and a school district, Frisco Independent School District.

The nine-story building will be a showcase of health and wellness on the 91-acre campus. The facility will include outpatient physical therapy and rehabilitation, sports psychology and a brain injury program, sports nutrition, orthopedics, cardiology, surgery, urgent care, medical office space and a pharmacy.

The facility will also house a street-level sports performance center powered by Fusionetics that features an indoor/outdoor playing field, basketball court, and training, research and rehabilitation areas. Perkins+Will is leading the design of the sports performance, research and wellness center.

“It will also have an imaging center developed in collaboration with General Electric,” Tom Reisenbichler, managing director of the Dallas and Austin offices of Perkins+Will, tells GlobeSt.com. “The design invokes a sense of strength, durability and precision. The glass and metal building is designed to give patients clear views and easy access to the outdoors, as well as provide views to the activity within for the campus community.”

The Medical City Dallas Women's Hospital expansion celebration was also held this week. Construction on the five-story vertical expansion began in fall 2016. It will transform the existing Tower D into a new women's hospital and is scheduled for completion in spring 2018. The general contractor, Brasfield & Gorrie, teamed with Perkins+Will.
