It does appear they are using the existing foundation and columns since they have started building and is laying construction material on the existing foundation. If they were not going to use it, they would have destroyed the foundation and columns before construction. This is going to save a lot of $$ on expensive concrete and labor which is smart designing.

I see a stage down there at the bottom of the fountain. I guess it's setup for ESPN College Game Day. ๐

I see that they have torn away the ceiling with precise accuracy to leave the columns with rebar sticking out of the top of them. Are they going to reuse the existing foundation and columns for the new building? This is interesting but I assume they would save money not buying concrete since construction material cost has gone way up.

Oh, so now they are promoting it as student apartments instead of tiny condos. I hope whoever buys it can make the building look more appealing instead of a sleazy motel.

I think UH will get the funding especially under Dr. Khator's leadership. I would never bet against her.

It must be an earlier version of Tower 5040 because: 1. Left of it is the Beale Village and the exact bayou curve from that vantage point. 2. It looks too expensive for UH housing design. 3. UH student housing will not have balconies or swimming pools. 4. UH intends to replace Moody Towers with affordable student housing which is what Moody Towers is. 5. Mostly all private student housing says "number of beds" in published articles.

I really do appreciate electricity but power lines and their poles are so ugly. I wish we could put the lines underground but I guess that would be too expensive. ๐

The UH new building may be part of the new TMC3 which is the massive research campus near the Texas Medical Center. All the other Houston medical schools are part of it so I suppose UH will be also. https://www.houstonchronicle.com/business/real-estate/article/TMC3-a-massive-biomedical-research-campus-at-16423937.php#photo-21414206

I know they already built out some floors in Health Science building 2 to start the college of medicine for 2 years until the medical school building is complete. The new medical school building will be ready Fall 2022.

Is this medical research facility the college of medicine building under construction now or is this a new building yet to be built. If it is a new building, I haven't heard any news of it.

Trees serve a great purpose and are beautiful but we won't be able to enjoy the beauty of the building because of the trees in front of the medical school. I wish they could have arranged them differently or have smaller ones.

I'm not crazy about the mix color scheme which makes it look like a cheap motel but I'll wait for the finished product before passing judgment. They're using 2 different colors of the same color. Brown on brown, beige on beige. Oh and let's slap on a few white bricks in the corner. Yes it is an improvement to the neighborhood, but I think theyโre trying to hurt my eyes. ๐

I guess that's fine as long as they have a full bath and at least a kitchenette. Please, no more community bathrooms.- 87 replies
