The third major building on their rapidly growing Dallas campus, this new facility is a critical component of the campus master plan and houses four primary departments.
For Phase 1, Moody Nolan designed this new senior high school to educate students in four Career and Technical Education Area’s (CTE’s). These include transportation: logistics/maritime, graphic design and production, arts: AV – production and arch/construction, and finally, health science. Specific spaces such as the learning commons/information center storage are being designed to benefit the larger community.
Located in Dallas County, Parkland is one of the largest public hospitals in the country, with 865 inpatient beds and over one million outpatient visits per year. As part of their new $1.2 billion campus expansion, Parkland selected Moody Nolan as the Design Architect, along with Architect of Record, VAI, for a new 245,000 sq. ft. outpatient clinic.
As part of a student led effort to promote health and wellness, Prairie View A&M University undertook efforts to provide an updated recreation facility and practice venue for current students.
