St. David’s Hospital, one of the most recognized and respected medical centers in Austin, converted the exterior courtyard into and newly renovated interior 5 story atrium lobby. With a skylight roof, this area has become the focal point for the medical center. The transformation from an old exterior masonry courtyard to this stunning new interior atrium lobby with various detailed gypsum board construction is a proud example of Marek’s quality workmanship.
