Work has begun on the new Permian Basin Behavioral Health Center in Midland, Texas.
The 200-bed, $225-million facility, which will be built on a 54-acre site, will offer short- and long-term treatment for psychiatric patients of all ages. It will include a crisis stabilization unit, an outpatient center, state-of-the-art amenities and a community education center.
The facility is being developed by the Texas Facilities Commission and will be operated by a new entity co-sponsored by Midland County Hospital District and Ector County Hospital District. The project is funded by the state of Texas and a wide variety of Permian Basin individuals and charitable organizations.
The project formally broke ground in April of this year and is scheduled for completion in late 2025.
Robins & Morton is the general contractor, and HKS is serving as the architect.
