The Texas A&M University System on Thursday will announce plans to build a $550 million complex in the Texas Medical Center, its most ambitious attempt yet to establish a significant presence in the elite Houston hub of health institutions.
The complex will occupy 5.5 acres at the southern border of the main medical center campus and comprise an 18-story academic building for the specialized engineering medicine program on which Texas A&M and Houston Methodist are partnering; a 19-story student housing building; and a 30-story medical office building. All three will tout the A&M logo.
