AUSTIN, TX — Adolfson & Peterson Construction (AP) recently completed a renovation and 106-bed expansion project for Cross Creek Hospital in Austin, Texas. The inpatient behavioral health hospital will operate under a joint venture partnership between Ascension Seton and Acadia Healthcare to help address the region’s critical need for behavioral health services.
The phased construction project encompassed a 96,580-square-foot two-story building addition, increasing the hospital’s total licensed bed count to 196. The project also added therapy and exam rooms, administration rooms, noisy and quiet areas, and an outdoor patient courtyard. Renovations reworked 13,350 square feet of the dining hall, kitchen, administrative space, and outpatient area offices to the existing facility. Additionally, AP built new parking areas for the added and renovated area along with an upgrade to the water quality system.
“Mental health care is a continually growing and needed area within the medical field, especially in a city as large as Austin,” said Addisu Negash, Project Executive at AP. “AP’s extensive expertise and experienced behavioral health facility construction allow us to deliver best-in-class outcomes for this much-needed project.”
Cross Creek Hospital programs will continue to focus on the health and healing of the whole patient and help reduce the stigma that too often prevents people from seeking care, hospital officials said.
Johnson Johnson Crabtree Architects served as the project architect for the renovation.
