FKP Architects Chosen to Design New Parkland Clinics

DALLAS, Texas –Parkland Health & Hospital System has chosen FKP Architects to lead the interior architecture and design of two key clinics on the new Parkland campus. The 365,000-square-foot Medical/Surgery Outpatient Clinic and 135,000-square-foot Women’s and Infant’s Specialty Hospital Clinic are major components of Parkland’s 2.5 million-square-foot campus. The campus is scheduled to be completed in 2014.

“We are honored to be a part of this historic project,” said Dan Killebrew, AIA, principal at FKP Architects. “Parkland’s commitment to the people of Dallas County is not only reflected in their investment in this vital new campus, but most poignantly in their drive to redefine public healthcare with a patient-centered experience that will enhance the well-being of families for generations to come. We can’t wait to get started helping Parkland bring their vision to reality.”

Other members of the design team include Dallas-based 5G Studio Collaborative, Jain Malkin, Inc., HERA, Smith Seckman Reid and Walter P Moore/Rogers Moore.
