The Parkland Health & Hospital System project, located in Dallas County, Texas, is a $1.27 billion healthcare campus that will include replacing the existing 54-year-old Parkland Memorial Hospital. HDR Architecture, partnering with a team from Corgan Associates, was selected as the design team for the master plan of the new 64-acre healthcare campus, as well as an 862-bed, 1.9 million-square-foot, full-service acute care replacement hospital. The Parkland campus is located within the University of Texas Southwestern (UTSW) Medical District and serves as a teaching hospital for the UTSW School of Medicine.

The design of the New Parkland Hospital provides for building components that create an easily understood architectural language. The exterior massing of the hospital, as well as the overall master plan, assigns forms as a functional expression of whats inside the hospital. For instance, the Women and Infant Services (WISH) inpatient tower is a separate bar building that stretches across the esplanade and makes a physical gesture towards Childrens Medical Center. The medical tower is also represented as a bar building that spans the length of the diagnostic and treatment podium, while the mid-level tower represents the Parkland Trauma Institute. These iconic elements give a scale and description to the function of the building, helping make it more understandable in its formal representation to its users.
