HOUSTON | MD Anderson Inpatient Bed Tower | ?FT | ?FLOORS

Project in brief - Information is a bit sparse but there are indications that yet another fairly substantial tower will be rising in the MD Anderson section of the TMC in the not too distant future. Much of the news comes from a few sources.

One was a preview of the 2030 Master Plan from last year



The remainder comes from from the UT Board of Regents from May of this year, regarding what will be demolished or altered to compensate for the temporary adjustments in lab space.

Quote:
Inpatient Bed Tower:

U. T. M. D. Anderson Cancer Center is preparing to construct a new inpatient bed tower to be
located proximate to and interconnected with the institution's Main Building complex, on a site
currently occupied by the Percy and Ruth Leggett Jones Basic Research Building, the Bates-
Freeman research building, and the Anderson Central Building. The proposed Bed Tower
Mobilization project will involve a multi-step approach to include the vacating of approximately
527,100 square feet of existing buildings and preparations for demolition. To consolidate
science research laboratories and clinical support functions currently housed in the buildings to
be demolished, approximately 400,000 gross square feet of space will be renovated in other
facilities proximate to existing inpatient services and associated clinical science laboratories.
The project will also include abating vacated spaces, facility modifications to accept connections
for temporary bridges installed around the site for the future inpatient bed tower, and detailed
analysis and planning to facilitate the decoupling of utility infrastructure in anticipation of future
building demolition.

Wow!

I was wondering if that was tied to the new tower or if it was something else.

The same presentation showed this cleared site that used to have the Dental School slated for use for "Support Services". Maybe yet another building adjacent to the tower? Maybe I'm mixing my projects, but that older presentation doesn't feature the newer structure slated for the Fannin Bank site. Things move so fast in the TMC, it's kind of hard to keep up.

An existing structure, the Gimbel Building, is being reconfigured to connect to this future tower.

IBT is bigger than I'd expected. The CSB isn't exactly tiny either.

27 & 11 floors respectively.

Goodbye to the view from the observation deck in the Alkek Tower, it seems - at least in one direction.

Architect:

General Contractor:
Austin Commercial


Information:
The Clinical Services Building (CSB) comprises a major addition to the existing UT MD Anderson Cancer Center campus at Texas Medical Center (TMC), in Houston, Texas. It will occupy the former “Dental School” site, at the northeast corner of the TMC hospital campus, that is readied for construction. The project is to include approximately 757,000 gross square feet of new construction. The project constitutes an initial phase of a multi-phase expansion of inpatient services on the main hospital campus, and it is being designed to support the ultimate growth up to an approximate 1,200 inpatient bed campus. It is anticipated that the CSB Project will include a basement and eleven stories of new construction to house selected campus clinical services departments.
