Where runways once ran, now run children, thanks to the Dell Children's Medical Center of Central Texas. And while the original control tower at Mueller Airport may be gone, there is a new one topped with what looks like a nurse's cap of old. The $200 million facility, assisted by a $25 million matching grant from the Michael & Susan Dell Foundation, triples the floor space of the Children's Medical Center of Austin and offers a variety of services for the area's children. The medical center will be the first hospital in the world to have Platinum Status under the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design program sponsored by the U.S. Green Building Council.
