UH Building $77M Medical Research Building
Work will begin in September on a 55,000-square-foot Medical Research Building near the Tilman J. Fertitta University of Houston College of Family Medicine.
The Houston Business Journal reports the building, at 5150 Medical Service Drive, will have a project cost of $77.5 million in 2024.
The building is expected to be complete in the summer of 2028. The Houston office of SmithGroup is the design firm, while Harvey-Cleary is the general contractor.
The multistory building will support applied medical and clinical research for the College of Medicine, but it will also have room for collaboration with other colleges.
The development comes as academic medical centers are investing hundreds of millions of dollars into their research campuses over the next few years. Another major project is expected to open this year in the Texas Medical Center. The University of Texas Health Science Center, Houston’s School of Public Health building, with a price tag of $299 million, will open this fall.
