Construction on the $100 million Center for Brain Health, a new patient care and clinical trials facility of UT Health San Antonio, is now about 35% complete, with full completion expected by September 2025 and an anticipated opening in December 2025. The Center for Brain Health is located at 4940 Charles Katz Drive and is part of $1 billion in capital investments UT Health San Antonio is making over the next four years, including the UT Health San Antonio Multispecialty and Research Hospital opening this December.
The Center for Brain Health is being built to advance research and provide innovative expert care for patients with Alzheimer’s disease, related dementias, movement disorders, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and other health concerns. Additionally, the facility will serve as an educational site for medical residents and postgraduate trainees.
Designed by Alamo Architects Inc. and TreanorHL, the Center for Brain Health will contain 75 exam rooms, 50 faculty offices, a 12-chair non-oncology infusion center, an outpatient pharmacy, and space for leading research and clinical trials. The five-level building, 103,500 gross square feet in size, will provide ease of access for families and patients and meet their many needs under one roof. The builder for this project is Joeris General Contractors, Ltd.
Overall, the Center for Brain Health aims to provide advanced medical care, research opportunities, and educational resources for both patients and medical professionals. With its state-of-the-art facilities and dedicated staff, the center is expected to make a significant impact on the field of brain health and contribute to the overall mission of UT Health San Antonio.
