MD Anderson Cancer Center is going big — really big. The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center has unveiled a historic $3.4 billion campus expansion, adding two state-of-the-art facilities designed to redefine cancer care. Funded by UT MD Anderson and philanthropic support, the project represents the most significant capital investment in the institution's history.
The two new buildings — Inspiration Tower and Prism — will together span nearly two million square feet. Inspiration Tower, a 25-floor, 1.4 million-square-foot clinical hub set to open in 2032, will be the largest cancer-focused clinical facility in the U.S. Prism, a 292,000-square-foot radiation oncology and diagnostic imaging center, is slated to open in 2030 and will be connected to Inspiration Tower via a sky-bridge.

Why it matters: This expansion signals a major investment in oncology infrastructure at a time of rising cancer diagnoses nationwide. By dramatically scaling capacity and integrating cutting-edge imaging and treatment technology under one roof, MD Anderson is positioning itself to meet growing patient demand while setting a new benchmark for cancer care delivery.
