Dedicated initially in 1991 as a $25 million structure of four
completed floors and three shelled floors, the Medical Research Building today
is a $58.6 million state-of-the-art research tower that supports numerous
multidisciplinary programs. The 11-story building contains more than 270,000
square feet of research space, conference rooms and offices. Construction of the
building was accomplished in two phases; the second phase, which included the
completion of the three shelled floors and the
construction of four additional floors, was dedicated in 1995. In 2000, it was
redesignated in honor of UTMB’s first president. The building also is linked
at two levels to the adjacent Libbie Moody Thompson Basic Science Building.
