While construction progress continues to be made on the vertical expansion of Texas Children’s Legacy Tower, several changes to our shuttle service routes will take effect starting on Thursday, July 6.
To accommodate construction work on the new tower, the Level 1 and 3 South Elevator Lobby and escalators will be closed for several months at Texas Children’s Pavilion for Women. As a result, the Pavilion for Women Direct Stop will be moved to a temporary shuttle stop on Fannin Street.
Two additional shuttles will be added to the Pavilion for Women and Feigin Direct routes during peak morning and afternoon rush hour.
“We are increasing the number of direct shuttles to Feigin and Pavilion for Women to minimize the impact on employees who rely on the shuttle service to get to and from work at Texas Children’s Medical Center Campus,” said Ransome Shirley, assistant director of Supply Chain Management. “This change will increase the round trip time for the Pavilion for Women Direct route by 8 to 9 minutes. Even though the Pavilion route will be longer due to the increased number of buses, wait times should remain the same.”
One significant change that will impact employees will be the return route to Garage 19. The return route will be longer for employees who take the shuttle from the Pavilion for Women Fannin Stop. The return route will start from Fannin to John Freeman to Bertner to Old Spanish Trail and then to Greenbriar.
To alert staff of these new changes, signage for the new shuttle re-routes will be placed at Garage 19, Meyer, Feigin and the Pavilion for Women shuttle stops.
Circulator routes and hours of operation will remain the same.

Legacy Tower Garage B3 and B4 elevators
After more than two months of renovation, the B4 South Elevator lobby of the Legacy Tower Garage (TMC garage 21) is now available for public and staff use. Meanwhile, the B3 South Elevator lobby will be out of service for at least three months as its renovation gets underway.
While parking will be permitted on level B3, elevator access will be restricted to the Pavilion for Women B3 lobby (North). Signage has been placed inside the South elevator cabs and on the construction barricades at Level B3 to direct physicians, staff and guests to the Pavilion for Women.
