  1. MD Anderson South Campus is located within the UT Research Park Complex. M.D. Anderson, Health Science Center break ground on research facility Houston Business Journal - 1:46 PM CDT Tuesday, April 10, 2007 The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center and The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston are collaborating on a new imaging research facility. The organizations broke ground Tuesday at The University of Texas Research Park on what will become the Center for Advanced Biomedical Imaging Research, dedicated to developing technologies that will detect heart disease, cancer and other illnesses at their earliest stages. The facility, scheduled for completion in late 2009, is being built in cooperation with GE Healthcare and the Texas Enterprise Fund. Link to article. Wow, not only am I getting a 1.1-million-square-foot teaching hospital within walking distance of my condo and a connection to N. Macgregor via Cambridge, but I'm also getting a 315,000-square-foot facility just down the street! I was hoping for more verticality, but I can live with it.
  2. MD Anderson to demolish MacKie & Kamrath dental school. MD Anderson Cancer Center has informed Texas Historical Commission of its plans to demolish the former University of Texas Dental Branch, 6516 MD Anderson Boulevard in the Texas Medical Center. MacKie & Kamrath were the architects for the original five-story building, completed in 1955, as well as later additions constructed through the 1980s. Neither Houston’s historic preservation ordinance nor the Texas Antiquities Code apply to the property because the building is not located in a historic district and is not a designated landmark. Preservation Houston is encouraging MD Anderson to document the building before it is demolished. The historic building has been vacant since the UT Dental Branch (now UT School of Dentistry) opened its new facility at 7500 Cambridge earlier this year. The dental school was founded as the Texas Dental College in 1905 and became part of the UT System in 1943.
  3. MD Anderson East Campus UT MD Anderson has plans for a Cancer Center on Corder St near Grand Blvd SubdivisionPlatPDF_UT MD Anderson Cancer Center East Campus_53280_20180205.pdf
  4. The most infamous green space in the Texas Medical Center. Whoever the landscape architect was did an outstanding job! The small description listed on MD Anderson's parks and gardens webpage: https://www.mdanderson.org/patients-family/becoming-our-patient/while-youre-here/parks-gardens.html The Prairie Enjoy winding trails, trees, benches and birds. This setting features a 2-acre native prairie and wetland restoration, complete with educational signage. Here are some photos that I took today. Prairie Pothole Wetlands, Oasis and Nursery. Flowers and Flyers, MD Anderson Prairie Wildlife Oasis. Return of the Natives, Prairie Returns to the Texas Medical Center. Photo of the week! The TMC skyline with fresh spring bluebonnets. An aerial photograph that I took a few years ago. It is worth noting that there is two proposed buildings planned for this site. I don't think the green space will last much longer.
  5. Today I stopped by MD Anderson's Healthy Living Garden that is located on the west side of the Dan L. Duncan Building. I agree that it's nice to see park land next to all these hospitals. It really does feel peaceful being amongst the grass and flowers. A lot of the parks have uplifting quotes as well. Keep your spirit up! The small description listed on their parks and gardens webpage: https://www.mdanderson.org/patients-family/becoming-our-patient/while-youre-here/parks-gardens.html Healthy Living Garden Observe seasonal herbs and vegetables growing in this demonstration garden. Educational signage provides tips for healthy nutrition. Here are two photos that I took today:
  6. This is such a small space to own. They would have to buy the Extended Stay hotel next door in order to build anything.
  7. Today I stopped by the MD Anderson Operations And Maintenance Building located at 7510 Bertner Avenue. In the spare space, MDACC keeps drinking water in a shiny truck. I thought it was cool how there was an MD Anderson branded tanker truck. Pictures I took today:
  8. There is a park that spans a few blocks called MD Anderson Wortham Linear Park that contains the Levit Family Garden located at 1212 Holcombe Boulevard. The small park actually has 2 separate water fountains! Impressive. I know who Gus Wortham is but I'm not sure who the Levit family would be. I assume the garden is named after Joe Levit, of Grocers Supply Company. The park starts on the outside of the Lowry and Peggy Mays Clinic.
  9. I never looked hard enough at this beautiful garden and fountain. I don't know who Dorothy Hudson is, but LeRoy Melcher is a commercial real estate developer. Smaller company with only a handful of properties but he has been in the business for a while. Spring season so the flowers are blooming! Very nice arrangement. Here are a few pictures I took over the weekend: The Dorothy H. Hudson Memorial Garden: Welcome to the Chrysalis Gardens, A Place of Healing and Discovery. Flame sculpture art. A symbol of knowledge, achievement, and hope for the future. Commissioned to mark the Golden Jubilee of The University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center and to honor patients and employees. Celebrated in 1991. The LeRoy Melcher Jr. Fountain:
  10. The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center Institutional Facilities Master Planning Services - MP2030/JSW https://www4.mdanderson.org/procurement/bids/index.cfm?pagename=viewBid&id=6398&name=Request for Qualification&historic=yes Construction projects include the addition of 12 floors that can accommodate more than 300 new inpatient beds in Alkek Hospital on the North Campus; two new research buildings on the South Campus that will house the Center for Advanced Biomedical Imaging Research and Center for Targeted Therapy as part of the McCombs Institute; and MD Anderson's first facility on its Mid Campus, a 25-story building to support current office space and future growth needs
  11. Wernicke, funny you should bring this up... http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/business/5583892.html
  12. In the mid 1940s, MD Anderson was granted to setup in the old Baker Estate donated by Rice Institute. A little confused. I thought I read an article that mentioned MD Anderson's first clinics were located in an abandoned military barrack/house. Maybe a Naval house of sorts? I know James Baker was a Captain so it would make sense. Then known as The University of Texas Post-Graduate School of Medicine M.D. Anderson Hospital. You would need to enlarge the image to see the building signage. The James Baker mansion is to the right and the clinic on the left. The Baker stables were turned into a laboratory. The clinics.
  13. MD Anderson has office space in the GreenPark One Medical Office Building located at 7515 Main Street. I thought recently there was a change of ownership in the GreenPark buildings? I remember a few months ago there was building signage being removed. I stopped by today to snap a quick photo. It's actually not a bad looking MOB. Has that "tower" look. Gensler designed this?
  14. The MD Anderson Clinical Research Building At 6767 Bertner Avenue has a very distinct topping on the roof. I've been looking at the copper? features for years and never knew the name of the building. Today I finally figured out the building's name. I wonder what they're for? Also, what's the small building in front? I would assume a garage, but I believe it's a supportive plant for the building?
  15. Couldn't find anything about this. IMG_0723 by Not.Larry.Dierker, on Flickr IMG_0724 by Not.Larry.Dierker, on Flickr IMG_0722 by Not.Larry.Dierker, on Flickr IMG_0721 by Not.Larry.Dierker, on Flickr
  16. A little confused. Today I noticed a new MDA complex called Red and Charline McCombs Research Complex. Weird how this is different than the infamous University of Texas Research Park Campus. I only knew of the McCombs School of Business in Austin, TX. I didn't know the McCombs had donated money to our medical center. Very cool! Picture of the signage I took this morning:
  17. The MD Anderson Charles A. LeMaistre Clinic located at 1515 Holcombe Blvd is a hidden gem. The building is one of the very first! Here is a photo I took today.
  18. EYP, now Page Southern Page, designed the MD Anderson Braeswood Garage located at 976 South Braeswood Blvd. Edit: Here's a photo of the garage that I took today.
  19. A lesser known MDA building is the Margaret and Ben Love Clinic located at 1515 Holcombe Boulevard. Here's a photo I took today.
  20. The MD Anderson Lutheran Pavilion is an iconic building in the main area of the MD Anderson patient campus. Photo I took today:
  21. A little not well known building rarely gets talked about. This building is the MD Anderson R. Lee Clark Clinic at 1515 Holcombe Boulvevard. Photo I took today:
  22. The historic CHI St. Luke's/Baylor St. Luke's Hospital Tower has been around for decades. The building is located at 6720 Berter Avenue. The views from this building are great. A family member was treated for cancer here. Here's a picture of the building I took today.
  23. Designed by FKP Architects, the MD Anderson George And Cynthia Mitchell Research Building is a power house. Located at 6767 Bertner Avenue, the building was named after George Mitchell. Photo I took today:
