Dedicated
in 1992, the $38 million, 90,000-square-foot UTMB Emergency Room is one of the
largest and most technologically sophisticated emergency care facilities in the
world. The facility records nearly 68,000 patient visits each year. Designated a
Level I trauma center, it serves as the lead trauma facility for a nine-county
region of southeast Texas. With distinctive front parapets and cast stone
accents, the structure’s brick exterior is reminiscent of early Galveston
styles, yet blends with existing campus architecture to offer an attractive,
formal entrance to the hospital area from the north side of the campus.
