As the centerpiece of Memorial Hermann Health System’s $700 million renovation and expansion, the 17-story Susan and Fayez Sarofim Pavilion was built to provide life-saving care to the most critically ill and injured patients while presenting a warm, inviting environment. Our team provided master planning and design services for this transformative project.
The Sarofim Pavilion adds over 1 million square feet (92,903 square metres) for surgery, emergency care, intensive care, and administrative and support services. In addition to replacing 71 existing patient beds, the facility adds 186 new beds, 24 operating rooms, and 15 emergency room bays. A 335-seat arboretum café offers patients, families, and personnel an attractive respite.
Six shelled floors allow for future growth, with potential for 186 more beds and 24 additional operating rooms. A new building provides a 900-space parking garage and supports the expanded campus infrastructure.
The project included the relocation of the heliport to the Sarofim Pavilion, which left the existing Hermann Pavilion helipad obsolete. Rather than leaving this space unused, we transformed it into a much-needed wellness center for Level 1 Trauma personnel. Designed for relaxation and rejuvenation, the repurposed helipad now features outdoor seating, shaded arbors, and a glass barrier framing breathtaking views of Hermann Park, the zoo, and downtown Houston. A partially covered space near the entrance provides a cool, shaded area for dining and socializing.
This project took nearly a decade from master planning to completion. Thoughtful phasing allowed for immediate clinical needs to be met while setting up the campus for future growth.
