West Campus parking garage
The latest West Campus parking garage is now the six-story parking facility, on the hospital grounds. As an extension of the open lot area this new addition provides a 538 parking spots. The garage includes a sky bridge connecting it to the Medical Office 2 building. Is equipped with electric vehicle charging stations. This new tower will enhance the hospital’s ability to accommodate patients requiring care for severe illnesses and injuries. It will also create room for care patients undergoing treatment, for life threatening conditions. The hospital plans to construct a building adjacent to a tower already present, on the eastern side of the hospital grounds where there are currently parking spaces and a helipad located on the premises. The hospital intends to move the helipad to the rooftop of the tower.
Upon finishing the project work, on the tower will boost the number of licensed acute/critical care beds up to 400. A significant increase, from the current 230 beds count. The basement will be connected to existing service corridors. Will accommodate an expanded pharmacy department.

Recent Expansions
Recently, the Texas Health Plano Hospital there has been an expansion of the intensive care unit (NICU). The NICU now have 42 beds for infants in need of care with a special provision for twins and triplets in two designated rooms, within the unit itself! Moreover, during this expansion phase they also included seven rooms designed like hotel suites to cater to families who have infants staying with them for an extended period while receiving specialized medical attention and care.
Construction has begun on a new operating room at Texas Health Plano dedicated to advanced neuroscience, heart, and vascular procedures. This second specialized operating room will feature cutting-edge neurosurgery technology that enables multiple medical specialties – including interventional neurology, cardiology, and various surgeries – to use the space. The room will support procedures such as transcatheter aortic valve replacements (TAVR), endovascular aneurysm repair, and arterial blood clot removal.
“We are partnering with our Collin County neighbors to provide a lifetime of health and well-being,” Hay said. “Texas Health Plano is enhancing the spectrum of care we offer patients everyday – from high-acuity neurosurgery, stroke, heart and vascular to the safe and memorable delivery of their littlest family members.”
