Scope:

Two connected neuroscience research and cancer care towers required new medium voltage distribution and central plant upgrades at UT Southwestern. Chiller plant improvements included 4,160 V substations and 480 V power for new pumps and associated equipment. our team’s electrical work for UT Southwestern’s connected neuroscience research and cancer care towers included medium voltage distribution and central utility plant upgrades. The design used 13.8 kV feeders from the existing north campus plant and new Vista switchgear to serve the two buildings and a 1,200 car parking garage. The broader 770,000 square foot, $454 million project included imaging, clinical laboratories, pharmacy, infusion spaces, research laboratories, and a vivarium.
