Here’s the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center’s massive new 1MC (for “Mid Campus Building 1″) at 7007 Bertner Ave., just a short hop into the medical frontier south of Brays Bayou. 25 stories, 1.4 million sq. ft., $350 million. All to consolidate various leasing tenants from 8 sites around the Med Center, plus get some space for future expansion. Swamplot reader Stephen J. Alexander hopped from parking garage to parking garage to capture these views:

So awesome…
I especially like Thermal Energy’s camouflage panel on the rounded corner of the hot-cold H2O facility. The graphic design is quite nice.Way better than the typical no imagination ,boring,cheap minded bare,untreated concrete most developers use !!!
Anyone know what is going on with the new Baylor building sitting on the corner of Old Spanish Trail and Cambridge?? Its still sitting vacant.
@cody @oh la la thanks for the comments!
the “rounded panel” is a giant tank of some kind – it’s skin is built from painted sheet metal sheets. I believe they built it first and painted after, but my memory may be faulty. I don’t really know what the tank is for… you can see another perspective of it on the right hand end of the panorama photo, though.
