On Nov. 5, 2026, the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center announced the historic expansion of its Texas Medical Center (TMC) campus through two new facilities: Inspiration Tower and Prism. Together, these facilities will fundamentally reshape the future of cancer care and elevate patient experience, enabling UT MD Anderson to care for nearly 250,000 patients annually.

Inspiration Tower and Prism will serve as the new front door to UT MD Anderson. Located at the corner of Fannin St. and Holcombe Blvd., the new facilities will account for nearly 2 million square feet of the most advanced patient care, radiation oncology and diagnostic imaging facilities in the world. Including other ongoing capital projects, the institution’s TMC campus will grow from 16.4 million square feet in 2020 to nearly 22 million square feet by 2032.

As Texas’ population continues to grow, the demand for cancer care across the state is rising. These facilities are designed to address this need by expanding capacity and introducing new capabilities that will enable safer, smarter and more personalized care. Adaptable infrastructure will allow UT MD Anderson to incorporate emerging technologies, such as artificial intelligence and robotics, throughout the lifecycle of the buildings. The facilities also are thoughtfully designed to incorporate nature, hospitality and art to promote comfort, healing and wellness.

Both facilities are priorities of UT MD Anderson’s $2.5 billion philanthropic campaign, Only Possible Here, The Campaign to End Cancer. This is the largest fundraising campaign in the institution’s history, and it has raised more than $2.22 billion, to date. More than 345,000 donors have supported the campaign with more than 925,000 gifts.

Serving as the new benchmark for patient-centered and technology-driven care, Inspiration Tower will be UT MD Anderson’s largest and most advanced patient care facility. Anticipated to open in 2032, the 1.4 million-square-foot tower will span 25 floors, making it the largest cancer-focused clinical facility in the nation. Inspiration Tower will significantly expand UT MD Anderson’s outpatient capacity. Rather than patients visiting clinics that treat a variety of related cancers, the tower will be defined by disease-specific clinics that deeply integrate with the institution’s research enterprise.
