When Nabisco's Houston Bakery opened in 1949, it was said to be the most modern bakery in the United States. More than 50 years later, Texas Medical Center chose to preserve the building and convert its 11 acres of floor space to a multi-use medical office building. Transformed from "cookies to caring," the building today houses traditional office space, medical research and educational facilities, laboratories and a telecommunications center. W.O. Neuhaus and & Associates were the project architects. | Visit the Texas Medical Center's Web site
