Staff Navigation on Fort Worth Campus
We have created step-by-step walking directions with photos to guide you through the best alternative routes. For those on the south side of the campus, the sidewalk in front of the 901 Building between W. Humbolt St. and Terrell Ave. will be temporarily closed for several months.
Staff, including those working in the Rosedale Office Building and Urgent Care Center, can continue to access the Fort Worth Medical Center through the 901 Building by using their badge at the door located next to the garage exit on Humbolt Street, as shown in the graphic.
This entrance leads into the Terrell Avenue Garage, where you can access the 901 Building on the first floor. From there, take the elevator or stairs to the third floor and use the skybridge to reach the rest of the Medical Center.
Bookmark this page on your phone for quick access during your walk. Scan the QR codes on flyers posted around campus to pull up these directions instantly while you’re on the move.

Please do not share these directions, this is for internal use only. These routes have areas that are accessible only with a Cook Children's badge. For the public, please direct them to the Construction page.
It is highly recommended to plan ahead and allow extra time to reach your destination and report for your shift at your scheduled time.
Do not enter the Emergency Department. Increased traffic in this area delays critical lifesaving care.
To keep pace with the current and projected growth in North Texas, the Cook Children’s Health Care System is in a 10-year master plan to expand and enhance its Fort Worth Medical Center. The plan includes a 700,000-square-foot medical tower, known for now as the West Tower, which will add more signature blue peaks to Cook Children’s flagship campus and Fort Worth’s skyline.
The West Tower will be a seamless extension of the existing Medical Center - Fort Worth, connected both above and below ground, and make way for an expansion of the NICU. It also allows for an expansion and redesign of the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU), and increases capacity for Hematology/Oncology services and research, as well as additional operating rooms and imaging services.
In addition to the new West Tower, the 10-year master plan includes a new utility plant to support the medical center and a new parking garage. It also includes the relocation of Kids’ Place Child Development Center, which will move into a brand-new facility a short distance across 8th Avenue on property also owned by Cook Children’s.
