Sited on 84-acres in suburban Plano, Children’s Medical Center Legacy was conceived as both a compliment to the main campus in Dallas, and as a community-based hospital to better serve suburban-based families.
Patient rooms are full of light and have a residential character to their furnishings, cabinetry, and material palette. In the spirit of family-centered care, each room has sleeping accommodations for two family members, along with adequate storage so families can comfortably stay with children. 
To reduce noise and improve infection control in a less intimidating environment, patient rooms host just one child along with built-in versus wheeled-in medical equipment. 
Water is present throughout the site, from a white rock creek just outside the cafeteria dining room to a peaceful lake on the north end of the site, which draws visitors through landscaped gardens.
