Architectural Interior Panels for University of Texas MD Anderson Hospital
The Challenge
As part of a large healthcare construction project for UT MD Anderson Hospital, the design team specified Quartered Euro-Chestnut veneer, an uncommon species that required careful planning and coordination throughout the project.
The wall panel system was designed to feature side- and end-matched veneer panels, creating a continuous visual flow throughout the space. Maintaining consistency across a large installation presented a unique challenge, particularly when working with a natural material that can vary in color and grain.
The project team needed a partner who could help navigate these complexities while supporting the architect’s vision and project specifications. That’s where FormWood Industries came in.
The Solution
FormWood worked closely with the project team to understand the design intent, material requirements, and architectural specifications before production began.
Working from the architect’s specifications, FormWood sourced the required Quartered Euro-Chestnut veneer and manufactured custom wall panels designed to achieve a cohesive appearance throughout the installation. Careful attention was given to veneer matching, panel sequencing, and overall consistency to support the project’s design goals.
Throughout the project, FormWood provided guidance and expertise to help ensure the finished panels aligned with both the architectural vision and the performance expectations of the space.
The Outcome
The completed installation delivered the sophisticated appearance envisioned for one of the nation’s leading healthcare facilities. By combining veneer expertise, detailed specification review, and custom manufacturing capabilities, FormWood helped bring a complex architectural design to life while maintaining the consistency required for a large-scale wall panel installation.
This project demonstrates the value of early collaboration, clear specifications, and experienced veneer craftsmanship when working with specialty wood species and architect-driven healthcare environments.
