While overall unimpressive, I'm sure these buildings will serve their functions and it really doesn't look all that bad. Not much interaction with pedestrians, but again, they are state buildings. All in all, an improvement with what's there at least from a visual standpoint.

While we might someday end up with some of the new buildings and streets in that rendering, the actual new hospital is rather unimpressive, relatively forgettable, and mostly hidden from view. Maybe that's ideal for the needs of the patients, who knows. But from the outside looking in it doesn't scream, "MD Anderson of the brain" as Kirk Watson liked to describe it.
The actual plans are considerably different from the vision in the report. I'm sure it will still be nice enough, but I've lost hope for a meaningfully different ASH campus like in the original vision from the old rendering/report.
Here is a link to a 3D view of the new hospital building itself.
