Gov. Greg Abbott, Mayor Sylvester Turner and officials from the Texas Medical Center are expected to announce new details Monday afternoon about TMC3, a collaborative medical research campus slated for 30 acres between Brays Bayou and Old Spanish Trail.

The proposed project, which has been in the works since at least 2015, is expected to bring together four institutions and contain multiple components, including hotel rooms, restaurants and bars, green space and an enormous plaza shaped like a double helix, a nod to the medical description of intertwining strands of DNA.

Officials scheduled to attend the 2:30 p.m. announcement include Baylor College of Medicine President Paul Klotman, Texas A&M University System Chancellor John Sharp, Texas A&M University System Vice Chancellor of Health Services Carrie Byington, Texas Medical Center President William McKeon, the University of Texas System Chancellor William McRaven, the University of Texas Health Science Center President Giuseppe Colasurdo and the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center President Peter Pisters.
