On any given day strolling across the Texas Medical Center’s expansive grounds—a veritable brain trust of healthcare professionals, professors, researchers, students, and entrepreneurs—you might overhear conversations about a new cancer drug, an innovative medical device, or a promising vaccine. You might even get an invite to an outdoor performance by the Texas Medical Center Orchestra.

The largest medical complex in the world, Texas Medical Center (TMC) is at the forefront of advancing life sciences by nurturing cross-institutional collaboration, creativity, and innovation to push the limits of what’s possible.

Home to scores of hospitals, universities and schools, and medical research institutions, people from across the country and around the world travel to TMC to receive care from the top specialists in their fields.

Page has partnered with TMC on more than a dozen projects. These include medical research and patient-care projects, such as Houston Methodist’s Research Institute, Outpatient Center, and Walter Tower; and Memorial Hermann’s Institute for Rehabilitation and Research, Sarofim Pavilion, and Hermann Pavilion 1.

Other Page-designed projects in TMC include MD Anderson’s Mid-Campus Building 1, the largest administrative office facility in the UT system and a center of collaboration for dozens of departments previously spread across campus. Its bold geometry with multi-level towers has been likened to a landlocked ocean liner.

A recent Page build-out in the heart of TMC was the Texas A&M Health Science Center Multi-Purpose Academic Building’s EnMed, a unique program weaving together engineering, medicine, and entrepreneurship.
