"We really did this for two reasons," Russ Williams, senior vice president at Texas Children's Hospital, said. "First and foremost, to give the community a chance to come on to campus, see the building, see our beautiful kangaroo crew, and a celebration for our team of 1000 team members in Austin who have been working really, really hard."
The Texas Children's Hospital's north Austin campus is set to open in February.
