"Where there's a sustainable environment, where there's energy consciousness, there is good health."
—Gaurav "GK" Khadse, Vice President of Facilities Planning and Development at Texas Children's Hospital.
When Texas Children's Hospital, one of the leading pediatric hospitals in America, decided to expand its footprint into the Central Texas market with its North Austin Campus, it had a goal of achieving a two-star rating under the Austin Energy Green Building program (AEGB)—a precursor to the LEED rating system. Not only did this project achieve that goal, but it exceeded it, thanks to thanks to multidisciplinary design, architecture and engineering firm Page. The campus earned a 3-star rating by harnessing innovative technologies, including recycling condensate water for landscape irrigation, a landscape design that honors Central Texas ecology, efficient electrical and plumbing fixtures, and a larger retention wet pond. The firm is proud of the collaborative work that went into this project, helping Texas Children's achieve their goal of reaching net-zero emissions by 2050 while providing world-class care to children, women, and families.
