Victory Lakes entrance at dusk
There’s no doubt that the main entrance at the Specialty Care Center at Victory Lakes is as dramatic as it beautiful. But, the entrance is a classic marriage of form and function, another example of thoughtful design contributing to a great patient experience. The eye-catching entrance allows patients to be dropped off or picked up literally at the facility’s front door, protected from harsh sun, rain or wind. It’s another small way we’ll be working to exceed our patients’ expectations.
Landscaping has begun to sprout

Maybe there's a little spring in the air?
Nothing dresses up a new facility and begins to suggest “completion” more than grass, trees and shrubs where there once were construction trailers and mud. Crews have been putting in sidewalks and landscaping the past several days, and it’s really starting to give the Specialty Care Center a polished and finished look.
Let there be LIGHT!

Victory Lakes after dark, from the roadway
Someone asked me recently if the UTMB logo had gone back up on the building yet. Not only has it gone up, it’s been “electrified.” I’d been noticing for a few weeks how nice (and starting to look finished) the interiors look with the lights left on. The illuminated logo is icing on the cake; it has a really nice presence from Interstate 45. (I took the image with my iPhone in the rain, so it’s not the greatest photo, but you get the idea.)
Eager for a peek inside?

Across the first floor lobby at Victory Lakes, looking toward entrance
We captured a few snapshots on a recent visit to Victory Lakes and plan to share more of those in upcoming blog posts. Right now on the first floor, workers are putting on finishing touches. The more extensive work has shifted to the second floor, where finishes, flooring, ceiling panels and furniture are all queued up for installation. The photo above looks to the south and toward the entrance; at your back would be the main corridor shown below.

- The UTMB logo’s being remounted
Speculation ran rampant last week when observant passersby noticed the signage at UTMB’s Victory Lakes facility had changed. Was a new logo afoot? Was some big change in the works? No, nothing in any way dramatic. The sign was originally mounted too high, closer to the roofline than the plans specified. In the pursuit of perfection and excellence that will carry over in all aspects of this new facility, the contractor is making the necessary adjustments. Watch for the sign to go back up soon.
