Popular Post samagon Posted August 23, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 23, 2021 maybe I'm easy to please, I think it looks great from the outside, I'll reserve final judgement until the space is fully open, but it's looking a whole lot better than I imagined it would. and it's going to be a good view from the inside as well. from the below picture, whoever is standing in the area that looks out of that framed 3 levels, that is a direct view of downtown Houston, and a very nice view of downtown that it is.

My son is going to be taking all online courses at UH again this semester and tells me the students and profs seem to prefer it that way. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post hindesky Posted September 5, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 5, 2021 (edited) Surprise find of the day was this tower crane base at the Hilton expansion. I was wondering if they would use a tower crane or just a crawler or AT crane to build this. Medical School. Law School.

Trees serve a great purpose and are beautiful but we won't be able to enjoy the beauty of the building because of the trees in front of the medical school. I wish they could have arranged them differently or have smaller ones. 1 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KinkaidAlum Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 This is from memory and I am officially old so it's not reliable, but I think UH built the building but several floors were not built out. Could this be funding to actually build out different labs in shell space? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Houston19514 Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Here's something interesting from UH's website regarding their lobbying priorities: Medical Research Facility at TMC3 Fund debt service to construct facilities for medical and health-related innovations at the proposed TMC3 facility at the Texas Medical Center in Houston. These facilities will enable and promote entrepreneurship, including a close partnership between basic scientists, engineers, technologists, data experts, business disruptors and health care professionals. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know they already built out some floors in Health Science building 2 to start the college of medicine for 2 years until the medical school building is complete.

KinkaidAlum Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 That could be part of the answer. Medical classroom space is not the same as advanced biomedical research lab space. I bet the hospital will have patient rooms, doctor/professor offices, and classroom space and the BioMed Building will have advanced labs. Labs can cost tens of millions to build out. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The UH new building may be part of the new TMC3 which is the massive research campus near the Texas Medical Center. All the other Houston medical schools are part of it so I suppose UH will be also. https://www.houstonchronicle.com/business/real-estate/article/TMC3-a-massive-biomedical-research-campus-at-16423937.php#photo-21414206 Edited October 20, 2021 by Stew 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KinkaidAlum Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Sorry, didn't mean to imply a full service hospital. However, it is my understanding that with a heavy focus on producing primary care physicians that the new facility will include patient care services. Most faculty will be primary care physicians who will run practices out of the new building. So there will be waiting rooms, exam rooms, and patient care rooms at a minimum. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
