Construction firm Robins & Morton joined the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) on Aug. 28 to mark the groundbreaking for Terrell State Hospital’s replacement facility.
The 415,500-square-foot, 250-bed project will replace the 139-year-old psychiatric hospital. It will feature state-of-the-art therapeutic spaces and separate areas for adult and adolescent patients.
The new facility will have 25 civil commitment, 50 maximum-security, 140 non-maximum-security, and 35 adolescent beds.
The state allocated $573 million for the project.
Robins & Morton is the general contractor for the project. CannonDesign is the architect. This is the second large-scale behavioral health replacement facility project that Robins & Morton has led for HHSC in the last five years, beginning with Rusk State Hospital which was completed in 2023.
