How big is MD Anderson?
With faculty and staff working in more than 25 buildings in Houston and central Texas, MD Anderson is one of the largest cancer centers in the world. The physical plant includes an inpatient pavilion with 507 beds, five research buildings, three outpatient clinic buildings, two faculty office buildings, a proton radiation clinic building and a patient-family hotel. Since 2005, the Mitchell Basic Sciences Research Building, the Mays Clinic, the Duncan Family Institute for Cancer Prevention, the Saberioon Molecular Markers Research Building, the Proton Therapy Center and the Pickens Academic Tower have opened. An ongoing expansion of Alkek Hospital will accommodate about 200 additional inpatient beds, adding nine floors to its current 12.
