  1. This is (radical) and I wanted to share. TCH has a nice campus at Fannin & Holcombe. The circular/oval sky bridge is infamous. IMO, it's the best sky bridge in the whole Texas Medical Center! Although, Houston Methodist's Centennial Tower is supposed to have a 13-story sky bridge, which sounds out of this world too. TCH offers the campus map in their Wayfinding section of their website. https://www.texaschildrens.site/wayfinding/maps.html All four buildings have basement/underground parking. I believe that is very expensive to do, and also risky due to flooding.
  2. Designed by FKP Architects, the Texas Children's Hospital West Tower started off, originally, as a single story (2 story?) building. The tower portion expansion happened in the 1990s, or early 2000s I believe. Here's a picture I took today.
  3. I had 30 minutes of downtime and was in the area so I stopped by. A little confusing. One of the departments is named Texas Children's Hospital Pavilion for Women. What does that mean exactly? I thought the "PFW" was in the TMC located at 6651 Main Street. It's their flagship hospital. Is Pavilion for Women as brand name? Do they have them in The Woodlands, Katy, Sugar Land, Cypress, etc? Or maybe the same doctors rotate between the two?
  4. Heard from a 2nd person today that TCH will be building a new tower on Main. This will be located across from the two Mediatar developments. Edit: The address could be 6600 South Main St.
  5. Might be my favorite TCH building! The term legacy isn't used lightly here. The circular sky bridge is amazing too! I believe the building naming rights is a different Smith family other than the infamous Robert (R.E. Bob) Smith? Designed by Cannondesign. I took this photo today.
  6. Very cool building here. The US Government funded the construction of the Baylor College of Medicine/Texas Children's Hospital Nutritional Research Center located at 1100 Bates Avenue. Designed by 3D International and Bernard Johnson. Here's a picture of the building I took today.
  7. Cannondesign and FKP Architects designed the Texas Children's Hospital Feigin Tower located at 1102 Bates Ave. Here's a picture I snapped today.
  8. The Texas Children's Hospital Abercrombie building was named after James Smith Abercrombie. Today I stopped by to snap a picture of the building. Edit: Wrong building! Will replace image with correct building shortly. Thanks. Edit 2: New pictures added!
  9. Gensler designed the GreenPark II Medical Office Building located at 7505 South Main Street. MD Anderson and Texas Children's Hospital leases space here. I stopped by today to snap a picture.
  10. In case your in the med center area and wandering what the commotion is about, they supposedly have the prisoner escapee cornered at the Baylor Clinic 6620 Main. They have Main St. shut down.
  11. I saw the construction from TMC Commons today, and it looks pretty good. Anybody got any better photos? http://img11.imageshack.us/img11/7687/img0575c.jpg
  12. Med Center Crowne Plaza to turn out lights Mary Ann Azevedo Houston Business Journal After more than three decades in operation, the Crowne Plaza Hotel Houston-Medical Center will close its doors next month. The closing comes on the heels of last month's purchase of the property -- located at 6701 Main St. -- by Baylor College of Medicine. The Crowne Plaza will permanently close its doors on Dec. 18, according to the hotel's Web site and Baylor officials. The property is one of three Main Street tracts that Baylor purchased from Houston-based The Redstone Cos. in a transaction that closed on Oct. 11, according to Baylor spokeswoman Lori Williams. The medical institution has also purchased a 74,000-square-foot tract that currently houses a Wells Fargo bank, as well as a 67,000-square-foot vacant tract across the street at Main and Southgate.

  13. On Tuesday, March 21st, 2006, KinkaidAlum posted: "The antenna at One Shell Plaza reaches to around 1,000 feet. There are several photos on emporis.com that show the antenna to reach almost the exact same height as Wells Fargo. The one building that has always confused me is the St Luke's Medical Tower. It's official height is listed at 316 feet. Apparently, the needle spires aren't counted in the height, but even without them, 316 feet seems way too short. Especially when you consider that the nearby Marriott Hotel is listed at 265 feet. There's NO WAY St Luke's is only 51 feet taller than the Marriott even without the spires!" I checked this out from multiple angles tonight. The question is not whether or not St Luke's is over 316 feet; it is whether or not (including spires) it is under or over 440'. With the spires I am certain that it is no shorter than the recent Memorial Hermann Medical Plaza. Edit: skyscraperpage and E______ both quote 316/25st., but Baylor College of Medicine says 29 storeys. The architect's website doesn't indicate one way or the other, saying only, "The Tower is a sophisticated, state-of-the-art medical facility and teaching hospital which captures the spirit and character of Houston and the adjacent Texas Medical Center. Twin octagonal towers respond to this dual frontage and help define the urban environment. The circular roofs and spires bring each tower to a dynamic terminus." There's a nice picture, though, of St Luke's as the only building visible from Hermann Park. A much more personable presence than the hulking Memorial Hermann.
  14. The highly visible plot of land on Rice's campus on the corner of Main St and University Blvd. will house The Collaborative Research Center. Designed to be LEED certified by Skidmore, Owings, and Merrill, the tower will contain 477,000 square feet for class/lab space for bioscience and biotech research. Rice will operate the center in conjunction with Baylor, MD Anderson, UT Health Science, Texas Children's and a host of other TMC institutions. The building will have 3 levels of underground parking and 10,000 square feet of retail/restaurant space that faces Main St. Plans call for the design to allow for the addition of another tower on top of this one and another on adjacent land...
  15. Found an awesome magazine called Modern Hospital, released 1952-11: Vol 79 Iss 5. You can read the publication on archive.org. Great website for historical items! As with any library, you can "check out" any book/magazine and "return it" an hour later. The magazine shows an in-depth look at the Texas Medical Center portfolio (in the ~1950s) including floor plans of old hospitals! I might create new threads with the information I found, but I wanted to focus on the Texas Medical Center Power Plant & Laundry Facility On Fannin Street. Power Plant and Laundry A power plant and laundry, owned jointly by the Methodist Hospital and St. Luke’s and Texas Children’s hospitals, provides heating, air conditioning, engineering and maintenance service and laundry. Methodist Hospital has a 50 per cent capital investment in this facility and St. Luke’s Hospital and Texas Children’s Hospital together own a 50 per cent share. In this plant also are general maintenance shops, woodworking shop, paint shop, and so forth, all to be used for the benefit of the three hospitals. The linen will be jointly owned by the participating hospitals and will be billed out on a pounds used basis. A thorough analysis was made before this joint power plant and laundry was undertaken and the following savings were believed obtainable: Initial construction saving, $40,000 to $50,000. Laundry equipment saving, $18,000. Power plant operation, $12,000 to $15,000 per year. Laundry operation, $12,000 to $15,000 per year. This joint facility of the power plant and laundry of the three hospitals will be operated by a manger of the facilities who will be responsible to the administrator of each hospital. All service will be billed to the hospitals on a cost basis. Building Number 11: Building number 11: The article that I transcribed above:
  16. I found this Houston Chronicle article dated July 22, 1962 that detailed the new Texas Heart Institute. Unique Heart Center Planned Construction of a unique 10-story, $6 million Heart Institute as an addition to the joint facilities of St. Luke's Episcopal and Teas Children's Hospitals has been proposed by the board of both hospitals. The institute, preliminary plans of which are new on architects' drawing boards. Would be devoted exclusive the medical and surgical treatment of the heart, education and research. Dr. Maynard Martin, administrator of St. Lukes and Texas Children's who has been designated to be the institute administrator, said "it will be the only facility like this kind in the nation, probably. Leopold Meyer, president of Texas Children's Hospital said, "Construction on the hospital will cost $6 million, with further funds necessary for equipment". Preliminary drawings for the institute were prepared by Staub, Rather, and Howze Architects who in association with Rustay and Martin, and Caudit, Bowlett and Scott have planed for the expansion of the north side of the joint hospital facility and the construction of a parking garage now underway. Edit: Looks like the new hospital was a direct replacement of the old. It's in the exact same location, next to the original St. Lukes Hospital.
  17. there has been a sign for over a year now off the north i-10 feeder past barker cypress for a new texas childrens hospital. has anyone heard anymore about this new development? and is interfin ever going to develop the land north of i-10 at grand parkway because that was where the 'new' galleria was supposed to be built. I think they are in impending lawsuits with katy mills mall, but I am not too sure.
  18. Another BioTech campus just outside TMC proper is on El Rio street developed by Prologis. Transwestern has 3 separate property listings for the campus. The addresses are: Prologis Plaza del Oro 1 is located at 1000 S. Loop West. Prologis Plaza del Oro 2 is located at 8272 El Rio St. Prologis Plaza del Oro 3 is located at 8282 El Rio St. https://transwestern.com/property/plaza-del-oro https://transwestern.com/property/plaza-del-oro-3 https://transwestern.com/property/plaza-del-oro-00 I stopped by this weekend to check the neighborhood out. I took pictures of the street signage.
  19. The Texas Children's Hospital Meyer Building was named after Leopold L. Meyer. Noticed a small office remodel this week for 1919 South Braeswood Blvd.

  21. I've always liked the signage to this building. It's arty. https://www.braunenterprises.com/5757-woodway
  22. Always liked this building from the freeway. Wish the 610 canyon would extended into Bellaire more. https://www.loopnet.com/Listing/6330-West-Loop-S-Bellaire-TX/5837502/
  23. One of the park and ride lots at the smithlands light rail stop has been closed off for construction. Does anyone know what project is going on here?
  24. St. Luke's plans to quit obstetrics Maternity services would shift to Texas Children's TEXAS Children's Hospital would gain maternity services under a deal being negotiated with St. Luke's Episcopal Hospital. The deal to transfer St. Luke's obstetrics unit, driven by financial and capacity issues, has prompted Texas Children's to plan a new wing, a 20-story building that leaders hope will break ground next year and be completed in 2010. "We are dedicated to putting together world-class comprehensive maternity services, with a special emphasis on high-risk pregnancies," said Mark Wallace, president and CEO of Texas Children's. "We expect it to be very attractive to families in the community and draw patients from around the region." link... http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/business/3924065.html
