Texas medical center builds on LEED Platinum certification
Dell Children's Medical Center new tower project pursues more challenging task of pursuing LEED for Healthcare, according to an article on the Healthcare Design website

The decision target was anything that had a 12 percent rate of return or a six-year payback on the system.
