Summary
This advanced imaging facility construction in Plano, TX for Baylor Scott & White The Heart Hospital delivers high-performance diagnostic environments within an active hospital setting, expanding access to leading cardiovascular imaging technology in North Texas. This advanced imaging hospital construction project in Plano, TX supports faster diagnoses and more coordinated cardiac care for a rapidly growing patient population.
Project Overview
Phase 1 of the Advanced Imaging renovation at Baylor Scott & White The Heart Hospital – Plano transformed approximately 6,900 square feet within an occupied healthcare facility to support next-generation cardiovascular diagnostics. The project introduced new PET-CT and MRI suites, alongside upgraded transesophageal echocardiogram (TEE) and stress echo rooms, all designed to enhance precision, efficiency, and patient experience.
Delivered in a highly active hospital environment, the work required careful coordination to maintain uninterrupted clinical operations while integrating complex imaging equipment, specialized shielding, and advanced building systems.
Construction in an Active Hospital Environment
Renovating within a fully operational heart hospital required detailed phasing, infection control measures, and close collaboration with clinical staff. The project team implemented strategies to minimize disruption, maintain patient safety, and ensure continuity of care throughout construction. This approach reflects best practices in occupied healthcare renovation, where safety, communication, and precision planning are critical to successful delivery.
Advanced Cardiac Imaging Facility Capabilities
The new imaging environments support high-acuity cardiac diagnostics, aligning with Baylor Scott & White’s broader investment in advanced cardiovascular care. Purpose-built spaces for PET-CT and MRI technologies enable more accurate diagnoses and streamlined workflows, supporting both clinicians and patients.
