2024 Annual Design Award Recipients
The Lean Construction Institute is pleased to recognize the awardee of the fourth annual Design Award:
Texas Children’s Hospital North Austin Campus, Austin, Texas
- Page: Architecture, Programming and Interior Design
- Texas Children’s Hospital: Project Owner
- McCarthy Building Companies: Construction
Texas Children’s Hospital recently opened its first hospital in central Texas, a $485M greenfield hospital campus for children and women in Austin. The four-building project was master planned, designed, permitted and constructed in less than 4 years, on time, under budget–all during COVID, supply chain interruptions, and high inflation. Furthermore, the team achieved its own Conditions of Satisfaction including, “to have fun” and “finish as friends.” The team credits much of the success to its early commitment to Lean, training, onboarding, and creating a culture of “One Team, One Goal.”
