From its roots as Children’s hospital of Austin, Dell Children’s Medical Center of Central Texas opened on June 30, 2007 as the newest member of the Seton Family of Hospitals. Located on approximately 32 acres of redeveloping Mueller community, the $200 million facility is a combination of "high tech and high touch" that spans nearly one-half million square feet, three times as big as Children's Hospital of Austin. That additional space supports increased capacity in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit and the Emergency Department, a comprehensive Pediatric Trauma program, a Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Center, and a host of other capabilities.
Dell Children's has already received widespread acclaim for combining cutting-edge medical technology, a collection of healing art, and a "green" building design. Dell Children's is on track to compete for the U.S. Green Building Council's prestigious Platinum LEED award.
