University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston
M. D. Anderson Center for Advanced Biomedical Imaging Research
From Bench to Bedside – This translational research facility contains several vested interest groups, including UT M. D. Anderson, UT Health Science Center-Houston and General Electric. Currently planned at six stories, this one-of-a-kind facility will house everything needed from equipment invention to initial discovery through evaluation in the patient population all under one roof. Although other institutions have similar programs, the CABIR is wholly unique in its size, scope, collaboration and level of ambition. PhiloWilke routinely designs for state-of-the-art equipment that has yet to be invented, and this project is only one of several that demonstrates our unrivaled experience with highly sensitive, technologically complex facilities at the forefront of modern science and medicine. Total 250,000 sf; $66 million.
Texas A&M University Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Facility
Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy has become a core technology in basic and applied research in the molecular life sciences and a cornerstone of structural biology. This showcase facility is designed to hold 9 NMRs including 600MHz, 800 MHz and the cornerstone 900 MHz; 37,000 sf; $10.5 million.
M. D. Anderson Smithville
University of Houston SERC
Level 1 – This build-out consists of approximately 8,900 sf and will accomodate a new Nano Center, Optical Labs and Device Manufacturing Labs.
Client Comments:
“A huge thanks for the monumental effort and the spectacular results you produced. The lab received many, many compliments and was noted as the showplace and attraction needed to encourage the recruitment of high profile researchers. When the project started, it was referred to as “impossible” but in spite of the discouraging look of the task, you all came through beautifully. I know that many of you have worked long hours, multiple weekends and in Jesse’s case even on Holidays. Vaughn, PhiloWilke, E&C and MGC – your cooperation and positive spirit have no less been responsible for this success. Please take a deep bow. You all deserve it.” – Michael Coppinger
UH SERC Level 3
The researcher is world reknowned Dr. Jan-Ake Gustafsson, MD, PhD, professor, Department of Biosciences & Nutrition – Center for Nuclear Receptors and Cell Signaling. The project consists of the design and buildout of the third floor ‘shell’ space at the west end of the Science and Engineering Research Center (SERC) located on the University of Houston Campus. In addition to the large open microbiology lab spaces, the following functions will be accommodated: RNA room, pre-PCR and bacterial culture labs, a microscope lab that supports four cell culture Labs, a UV-Gel lab, darkroom and a large glasswash room (Lord Aeck Sargent performed programming, SD and DD on Level 3).
University M. D. Anderson South Campus Research Complex
The South Campus Research complex consists of two four-story, 133,500 square foot laboratory and office buildings with a 300 seat full-service cafeteria, and a 14,250 sf, 300 seat, one story conference center wing between them. The research facilities will meet the need for more research in Molecular Pathology, Molecular Therapeutics, GI Medical Oncology and GI Pathology.

UT Medical Branch at Galveston Research Facilities Expansion
The Research Facility Expansion project consists of two separate buildings for The University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston, Buildings Number 17 and 21. Building 17 (above left) is a free-standing five-story laboratory research building consisting of 90,200 gsf. Building 21 (above right) was an existing three-story Physical Plant Building. A fourth story was added and a new four story wing was also added to the south of the building.
