A welcoming visit to City of Wichita Falls and celebration for Texas Health and Human Services with formal groundbreaking activities. This new behavioral healthcare project consists of a consolidation and replacement of the North Texas State Hospital (NTSH) inpatient services, also known as Wichita Falls Hospital (WFH). The 225-bed replacement hospital will include 25 Maximum Security Beds, 25 Children’s Beds, 25 Geriatric Beds, and 150 Forensic / Civil beds. This project is based on the premise of consolidating hospital services into one key building to improve operational efficiency, form a more public and dignified presence of the hospital in the neighborhood, and to drastically improve the quality of care and quality of life for people receiving psychiatric inpatients services at the hospital. Page was joined by other design partners and McGough building team momentum to get this one going. Ground preparation, utilities and demolition will begin next month. Page is back on campus serving as architect for original administration building from 1913. #Itmatters #brainhealth #behavioral Thanks to the entire team who helped make it happen "we got a long way to go and short time to get there".
