Some interesting tidbits from the annual State of the Texas Medical Center address today...
TMC Helix Park (Formerly TMC 3)
Rendering c/o
TMC
TMC 3 appears to have been renamed to TMC Helix Park - referring to the central landscaping element on that section of the campus, though the existing website has to be updated to reflect this. The first phase, consisting of several buildings, is set to be delivered next year.
TMC BioPort
Perhaps the biggest news from the event was the announcement of a 500 acre site, whose location is yet to be revealed, called the "TMC BioPort", signaling the continued physical growth of the TMC as an entity, now split into 4 districts (Medical Campus / Innovation Factory / Helix Park / BioPort).
From the
press release
Quote:
BioPort is TMC’s newest initiative and will serve as the Texas Medical Center’s biomanufacturing and medical supplies distribution engine. The district will span several hundred acres driving the much-needed repatriation of critical medical supplies and new cell and gene therapies. In addition, TMC BioPort will provide on-site upskill training center, creating over 100,000 new job opportunities for residents in the Greater Houston region. This vital initiative is aligned with the expectation that the US will significantly increase its biomanufacturing capacity to assure ready access to pharmaceuticals, therapies and medical supplies.

More details will likely be forthcoming in the next few days and weeks. Hoping to see updated renderings and site plans soon.
