Highrise Tower Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 A garden in the sky lifts patients’ spirits at Houston Methodist https://www.tmc.edu/news/2019/11/a-garden-in-the-sky-lifts-patients-spirits-at-houston-methodist/ Quote A burst of color 21 stories above the Texas Medical Center, Horizon’s Hope garden offers Houston Methodist patients and staff the healing benefits of nature. Plans for the rooftop garden began to bloom last fall when Renee Stubbins, Ph.D., senior research oncology dietitian, and Ashley Verzwyvelt, an oncology infusion nurse liaison, submitted a proposal for a natural oasis on the roof to the Center for Health and Nature. The center, housed at Houston Methodist, is a partnership between Houston Methodist, Texas A&M University and Texan by Nature, a nonprofit conservation group. Now, more than a year later, the garden has sprung to life at Houston Methodist Hospital-Outpatient Center. “It can be so crazy and stressful up here, ” Verzwyvelt said. “Once you see that view and … this huge, impactful mural and the flowers, it just melts all of that stress.” After Verzwyvelt and Stubbins were awarded funding by the center for the garden, members of the community reached out to get involved. Architects and planners donated their time to design a safe, relaxing space. Houston’s prolific muralist, Gonzo247, formally known as Mario E. Figueroa Jr., painted a mural to accent the garden. Rich shades of blue, orange and pink, reminiscent of a Texas sunset, blend seamlessly into a hill of wildflowers. “Gonzo did such a good job,” Stubbins said. “He matched our vision perfectly. … Some people might think it’s a little disorganized, but I really wanted it to look like a meadow.” Still in its early stages, the garden is not yet open to anyone except the Houston Methodist staff maintaining it. For now, the garden, which is visible from multiple patient rooms, will provide pleasant views and be part of a clinical trial with Texas A&M University to test the benefits of nature in a hospital setting. Patients will be randomly assigned to one of three rooms while receiving regular chemotherapy infusions: a room with a view of the garden, a control room with no windows, or a room where the patients will experience nature via a virtual reality headset. The trial will examine whether interaction with nature improves the patient experience. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Paco Jones Posted May 5, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 5, 2020 Centennial Tower This project consists of a new hospital tower within the Texas Medical Center, on the corner of John Freeman Blvd and Bertner Ave, next to Walter Tower. The new hospital tower is a 29-story tower (511' to top of mechanical roof) with total square footage approximately at 1.2 million sf. The new hospital tower will adjoin to the existing Walter Tower on Levels 4 and below. Centennial Tower will also be connected to Walter Tower via a series of skybridges on Levels 9 - 21. Skybridge connectors will also connect Garage 7 and existing Walter Tower/Fondren Brown atrium to the Outpatient Care Center. The site is located next to Walter Tower and will be bounded by Bertner Avenue and John Freeman Blvd. An existing building will be demolished on this site also owned by Houston Methodist. 23 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highrise Tower Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 COVID recession puts damper on large construction projects https://www.marketplace.org/2020/11/17/covid19-recession-puts-damper-large-construction-projects/ Quote Before COVID-19 hit and the economy tanked, Houston Methodist Hospital was well along in its plans to expand downtown. Centennial Tower is a $700 million-plus project to serve more patients. “The day that I had to call the architects and the engineers and the general contractor back in March and tell him we’re gonna put this on hold, that was a hard call,” said Sid Sanders, senior vice president for design, construction and real estate at Houston Methodist. “Centennial is over a million square feet,” he said. “It’s going to be somewhere around 30 floors. It will probably peak out with close to 1,000 people on that job site during the peak of construction.” Sanders said he’s hoping to get started on building the Centennial Tower in the first part of 2022 — about a year later than first planned. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highrise Tower Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Leadership Series: Sid Sanders, Houston Methodist https://info.healthspacesevent.com/blog/leadership-series-sid-sanders-houston-methodist Quote Sid Sanders is no stranger to billion-dollar capital projects. The Senior Vice President for Construction, Facilities, Design & Real Estate Management at Houston Methodist is currently responsible for a $4.5 billion capital construction program. Prior to his role at Methodist, he ran a $7 billion capital program for the UT System. This building had to tie into five other buildings at 15 specific locations on seven different levels, so the construction manager used state-of-the-art scanning technology to pick up millions of data points. Then, we imported those scans into the building information model of Walter Tower to work out the details of how to connect to all those buildings. Now, we’re kicking off Tower 2, which will probably be bigger, and we’ll take with us the lessons we learned from this project. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
