Waterleaf Medical Center

This project included the new construction of a two story, 26,000 square foot ambulatory surgery center and medical office space for Balcones Pain Consultants. The facility includes fourteen exam rooms, a flouroscopy suite, a laboratory, and pharmacy. Within the surgery center, three operating rooms comprise the rear of the suite, with four pre-op beds and five PACU beds in the center of the space. A spacious waiting room and radius stairway make up the entrance and reception area.

The site, exterior and core of the building were designed by Euwer & Associates, while the interiors were designed by Polkinghorn Group Architects. The success of the project was in large part determined by everyone’s ability to communicate and work with each other to make sure that there were no gaps or overlaps in scope.

Dell Children’s Medical Center, MRI Suite Renovation

The renovation of CT Suite within the active Dell Children’s Medical Center took place in the summer of 2015.

This project included the replacement of the existing Siemens CT Scan equipment with a new GE Revolution CT X-Ray Scanner and associated equipment within the active Dell Children’s Medical Center. Along with the coordination of the medical equipment installation, new HVAC and electrical service was provided along with updated finishes and the replacement of millwork in the room.

To give the room a more welcoming and relaxing feel to the young patients, colorful themed artwork was applient to the entire room.

MRI Suite Renovation, Seton Medical Center Austin

This renovation within the fully operational Seton Medical Center Austin included a 4,700 square foot renovation within the old café and atrium, a new shell space on the second level where there used to be open air, and a new mechanical penthouse on the roof above that to house a new air handler for the project. The area of the hospital that was remodeled included an open air atrium that was in-filled with structural steel framing and concrete slabs. Extensive interior demolition, crawlspace MEP rough-in, and shoring were required during the build-out.

Two new Siemens MRI machines were installed by rigging approximately 270 feet from the south entrance of hospital, with site coordination paramount to staff and visitor safety. The specialized nature of the MRI rooms required unique coordination between trades. We had to not only build the rooms within the greater space to meet standard MRI requirements, but we also had to leave out specific walls within our area to allow the magnets to make their path of travel from outside to the isolation rooms. As with typical MRI build-outs, walls and doors are typically left out to allow for this install, but we had the greater obstacle of making our way from the south lobby, down a long corridor, past a left turn and then a right turn into the suite. The entire length of travel was 270 feet, over a structural slab that had shoring placed along the entire path in the crawl space.

At the end of the day, the ultimate goal was not just to provide SMCA with a new suite to operate in, but the ability to better offer world-class healthcare to the community and beyond through the research that will take place there. Sabre was extremely proud to be part of such a dedicated and professional team that worked tirelessly through many coordination efforts to bring this design to life.

This new two story medical office building included the finish out of the first and second floor lobbies. A mix of steel and wood construction, the first floor was composed of all steel and concrete and contained a wooden roof structure. The project included the installation of a 15,000 gallon rainwater collection cistern on an elevated platform in the detention pond.

We completed the Central Texas Medical Center build-out within concurrent with the shell build-out.

1,250 SF remodel to create a new Hybrid Operating Room in the St. David’s South Austin Medical Center. The project included extensive coordination between the Sabre project team and medical equipment supplier to accommodate the high tech medical equipment installation. As all work was completed within the occupied and operational St. David’s South Austin Medical Center, coordination between Sabre and the Medical team was required to work within allowable times. The end result was an appealing and functioning Hybrid OR theater with the most advanced technology available within the tight timeline. The overall project was completed with no safety incidents or delays to the owner expectations.

2015 – Austin AGC Outstanding Construction Award Winning Project

University Medical Center Brackenridge, Psychiatric Emergency Department

This project included the remodel of the existing Mother/Baby unit within the fully operational University Medical Center Brackenridge to create a Psychiatric Emergency Department. All work was completed while keeping the 24-Hour facility 100% operational. The new space includes seven new assessment rooms, ten observation rooms, a new exterior entry, a waiting room for patients and families, as well as the associated support and circulation spaces.

Due to the nature of the patients, extreme attention to detail was paid to ensure all installations were anti-ligature.

This project was part of Senator Kirk Watson’s 10 Goals in 10 Years plan to provide better psychiatric care and facilities to Central Texas.

Sadler East, Medical Office Building

This project is a ground up two story medical office building. The building provides much needed “Class A” office space to the San Marcos Area. Sadler East was designed as an MOB but also is flexible enough to satisfy the needs of standard office clients if needed.  Comprised of a structural steel frame the building has a masonry and stucco veneer. The lobby finishes included brushed copper panels and hanging wood ceilings. Construction scope included the core finish out and lobby.
