UTSW’s expansion on the west side of North Texas is in response to the growing population and need for specialized services. Fort Worth will soon be the 12th largest city in the world, and its population is expected to exceed one million by 2028.
The 10-year master expansion plan will add 1 million square feet to the campus, which currently spans 2.5 million square feet. Plans call for a new 700,000-square-foot medical tower.
The forthcoming campus could amount to the most significant Colorado investment made by CommonSpirit for several years. The system chose the south suburban location because of rapid population growth in the area coupled with projections that over 65% of Douglas County’s population is expected to reach the age of 65 or older before 2030.
