< Back to Projects Houston Independent School District DeBakey High School Owner: Houston Independent School District Architect: WHR Architects Size: 195,000 sq. ft. Category: Education - K-12 - ISD The 195,000-square-foot campus was constructed in the heart of the Texas Medical Center and accommodates up to 1,000 students. The school is dedicated to providing a rigorous and comprehensive pre-college program for students pursuing careers in medicine, health care, and/or the sciences. The heart of the school is a central open atrium that is surrounded by five floors. The first floor is the cafeteria, while the remaining four floors are dedicated to classrooms and teaching space. The new school features teaching labs for dental, rehabilitation, and patient care with mannequins similar to what community colleges and universities use, and the science labs are designed to feel more like a research lab instead of a high school science classroom. In addition to instructional facilities, the school includes a gym, an arts center, a music room, and outdoor terraces. As a dedicated magnet school for health professions which originally opened at Baylor College of Medicine, DeBakey has always had close ties to the Medical Center. This connection enables the school to give its students extraordinary opportunities that are not available elsewhere and that will provide them with a head start for a successful future.
