This medical office building is part of a hospital campus in Rockwall, Texas. It was designed to not only add to the upscale suburb’s rich character, but to compliment the design of the hospital and set a standard for the remainder of the campus.As the design-builder, Centerpoint was able to control costs while producing a green product well within the budget, which was originally set using standard construction methods. By using structural insulated panels (SIPs), high performance glazing, and reflective roofing, the building shell has a high insulating value while maintaining an extremely tight envelope. The result is a high performance building which is less expensive to operate, less prone to leaks, and faster to build – without adding to the construction budget.
