CoolBuddy06 Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Memorial Hermann is planning for a 12-story trauma center in that space between the ER and TMC garage 4 on Cambridge opposite the zoo. They also plan to tear down Robertson Pavilion and build it into something bigger and modern. This is from grapevine. I'll find out more. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plumber2 Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 I've heard that Memorial Hermann has plans to tear down the Robertson Pavilion. Robertson is one of the more older buildings in the Medical Center, probably built in the late 40's. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Center for American History has some good photos as well, including some older shots of Memorial Hospital. Learned about the Robertson Pavilion which opened in 1948 this week. https://library.tmc.edu/mcgovern/2010/08/27/thingamajig-hermann-hospital-1949/ http://www.breakingnewgroundproject.org/projects/texas-medical-center/details/ https://www.cah.utexas.edu/index.php I was across the street and saw a construction fence. Which made me wonder if Memorial Hermann will ever demolish the old hospital. Unlike MD Anderson, I don't think MH does that too often. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had surgical suites there until February, when they moved them to the new building. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highrise Tower Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 Took a closer look last week. I like the double H logo. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hadn't thought of the old "double H" logo in a long time, but I always liked it too. Certainly better than the anodyne Memorial Hermann logo that's currently used. You'd think there would be a history of the various logos used over time somewhere online, but if there is, it seems to be hidden pretty well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highrise Tower Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 A MH Robertson Pavilion project was registered with TDLR this week. I've noticed Memorial Hermann does not like to demolish older buildings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tumbleweed_Tx Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 I wouldn't be surprised if it's in Hermann Foundation's agreement with Memorial to keep the old building intact 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highrise Tower Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 I did not know Kenneth Franzheim designed the "New Hermann Hospital Building". Very cool!! You can always tell this Memorial Hermann building apart because of those large Corinthian columns in front. I've never seen those "grand entrance" stairs before! I wonder if they were eventually demolished? That looks like a photo and not a rendering. Is it just me or did Kenneth Franzheim and Alfred C. Finn dominate the Houston architectural scene back in the day? Seems like those two were the main, big name, architects around. Wyatt C. Hendrick as well, but he was based in Forth Worth.
