Robins & Morton Marks Topping Out of $573M Terrell State Hospital

TERRELL, TX — Construction firm Robins & Morton joined the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) to mark the topping out of Terrell State Hospital’s replacement facility in Terrell, Texas. The state allocated $573 million for the project.

The topping out ceremony marks a significant milestone with the final concrete placement, signifying the structural completion of the project.

The 415,500-square-foot, 275-bed project will replace the 141-year-old psychiatric hospital. It will feature therapeutic spaces and separate areas for adult and adolescent patients. The new facility will have 50 maximum security, 175 non-maximum security, and 50 adolescent beds.

Robins & Morton is the construction manager at risk for the project. CannonDesign is the architect.

This is the second large-scale behavioral health replacement facility project that Robins & Morton has led for HHSC in the last seven years, beginning with Rusk State Hospital, which was completed in 2023.
