The building will be connected to the pavilion by a sky bridge. The rst phase involves relocating the Women’s Assessment Center from the 11th oor of the Pavilion for Women to the rst oor and is nearing completion. Following phases will involve relocating outpatient OB-GYN practices to the new tower. The 190,000-square-foot expansion will be completed in 2024. St. Luke’s Hospital - Baylor St. Luke’s Medical Center The forthcoming 12-story O’Quinn Medical Tower will serve as the health system’s new clinical home for the Dan L. Duncan Comprehensive Cancer Center. The center will o er radiation therapy and other services as well as multiple specialized oncology clinics, an infusion center and outpatient services. The tower will also be part of the McNair Campus, which will eventually include another hospital bed tower and ambulatory care center. The project will be completed in 2023.
A new cell therapy lab opened at the Houston Methodist Hospital in the Texas Medical Center in late February as part of the hospital’s outpatient center at 6445 Main St., Houston. Called the Ann Kimball & John W. Johnson Center for Cellular Therapeutics, the new 5,000-square-foot lab space will be used for research and development, according to a March 29 news release. Cellular therapy is a newer form of treatment to combat a range of diseases, including heart disease, cancer and various neurological disorders. The center was funded with a gift from philanthropists Ann Kimball and John Johnson, after whom the center is named. Methodist also began site preparation in April for a 26-story hospital tower in the Texas Medical Center that will house a new emergency department that will be double in size and have nearly 400 patient beds. The $1.4 billion project will begin a phased opening in 2027. The tower will replace Methodist’s Main building, which will be demolished.
