Returning
Three years to the day after
Hurricane Ike—and nearly 120 years
after its first classroom session—Old
Red reopened with the return of Student
Services. The Amphitheater reopened for
lectures in February 2012.

Modernizing
Phase 1 of the John
Sealy Hospital Modernization included
infrastructure upgrades; spacious patient
rooms to provide a healing environment
while accommodating teaching activity
and the latest technology; expansion of the
Blocker Burn Unit; construction of UTMB
Health Children’s Hospital space within John
Sealy; and renovation of the Comprehensive
Maternity Center. Phase 2 will begin once
the new Jennie Sealy Hospital is completed.

Expanding
New clinics in the rapidly
growing League City area included Pediatric
Specialty Care at Bay Colony (awardwinning
interior pictured), the Multispecialty
Center & Stark Diabetes Clinic, and Brittany
Bay clinics offering advanced services in
ear, nose and throat, audiology and speech
pathology, oral and maxillofacial surgery,
and sports medicine and rehabilitation.

Discovering
Installation of the first
12-Tesla mass spectrometer in Texas
was among the research-related capital
investments last year. UTMB faculty will use
the equipment—unsurpassed in its ability
to analyze biomolecules—to discover new
therapeutic targets in cancer research.

Welcoming a New Era
With the
completed demolition of the former
Jennie Sealy Hospital and the coming
demolition of the original Shriners Burns
Institute building, UTMB has set the
stage for the Clinical Services Wing and
new $438 million Jennie Sealy Hospital.
Together, these facilities will make
critical hospital support services more
resilient and will ensure the availability
of advanced inpatient care and robust
clinical training opportunities well into the
future.
