William Daigneau, their veep for operations and facilities, gratingly told KHOU that "the mural, which depicts African-Americans hauling hay, 'does not reflect the values of M.D. Anderson. There's the issue of who's running the farm, and who's working on it.'

Polled faculty and employees, he said, were opposed to installing the mural in a new building.

'There is a lot of science to art in a healing environment,' Daigneau said, noting that the cancer center employs a consultant to help choose soothing artwork for patient areas."

And judging by their recent healing environments, the bulldozer district (of a part of town not particularly interested in the modern experience of black Houstonians) of put-you-to-sleep urbanism is just about par.

But they do like their, "issues", always.

Relocation of the Research Medical Library, currently located on level 21 of the T. Boone Pickens Academic Tower (Pickens Tower) will provide the opportunity for MD Anderson to repurpose approximately 25,000 building gross square feet of space. The proposed renovation will provide executive corporate level office space reflecting UT MD Anderson’s brand and philosophy. The design team will be challenged to provide inspiring and creative workspaces addressing the needs of the institution while creating a sense of community and embracing the impact of security, technology, and audio visual requirements inherent of today’s office environment. Major building systems (AHUs, chillers, pumps, elevators, major electrical, data cable risers) are already in place. Connections to those systems will be part of this project and part of the design.
