Design Criteria Package for Student Health Center Expansion Texas State University 10/13/2026

A. Student Health Center Expansion (the Project) will bring together health and well-being resources into a single space to provide a single point of contact for students to access resources. Specifically, through the co-location of offices, this space will transform from a health clinic to a one-stop shop for well-being services and resources. The new 20,000 GSF expansion will include moving internal offices and relocating other campus departments including:

• University Health Services

• Student Counseling Center

• Care Center (Dean of Students)

• Disability Services

B. The Student Health Center Expansion will expand the front of the existing Student Health Center and will include a new formal building entry/lobby, renovations to the existing pharmacy and a new pick-up/drop-off drive and parking.

C. The 2-story addition is anticipated to match the same construction type as the original building.

Foundation: Pier supported concrete foundation over a crawl space.

Walls: Masonry veneer over metal framing Roof: Standing seam metal roof HVAC: Served with existing chilled water and steam.

Fire Protection: connect to existing fire suppression system.

D. Construction on the expansion will occur while the existing building is occupied and in use. Coordination with the Student Health Center staff is required to maintain safe access into and out of the building, and to coordinate any utility or construction outages and disruptions. Construction staging, access and parking will be coordinated with the selected contracting team.
