Construction firm Robins & Morton joined Methodist Healthcare System on Aug. 13, 2025, to celebrate the groundbreaking of the $104 million vertical expansion and renovation at Methodist Hospital | Stone Oak in San Antonio, Texas.
The two-story, 83,948-sq.-ft. expansion will add ICU and Med Tele beds, while also expanding key support areas, including central supply, the lab and parking. As part of the project, the hospital kitchen will undergo a comprehensive renovation.
"This vertical expansion marks a new chapter in our commitment to serving humanity to honor God," said Michael Beaver, CEO of Methodist Hospital | Stone Oak. "By adding two new floors, we're not just increasing capacity, but creating more room for healing and hope when families need us most."
The project will add 54 new beds, increasing its total capacity from 245 to 299. This includes the vertical addition of the fifth and sixth floors to the West Tower, with 40 new Med Tele beds on the fifth floor and 14 critical care ICU beds on the sixth. Half of the sixth floor will remain a shell space, allowing flexibility for future growth. With the inclusion of Methodist Hospital | Stone Oak Rehabilitation Center, the hospital's complete bed count will reach 341.
The project is scheduled for completion in late 2026.
Robins & Morton is the general contractor, while ESa is the architect.
