The University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston will use a $75 million gift from The Sealy & Smith Foundation to renovate the John Sealy Hospital. The 12-story hospital, which was built in the 1970s, will be renovated inside and out. The entire project will cost approximately $133 million, and UTMB will fund the remaining $58 million through debt and local sources. UTMB has not named an architecture firm or contractor yet, a spokesman said. The improvements and upgrades will include reconfiguring floors three through seven to provide women's and children's services.

State funding for college campus construction projects has been described by many around Texas as "long overdue." This year, various construction associations, educators, and others are pushing lawmakers to approve as much as $3.6 billion in new buildings at multiple college campuses. Most of these projects could be funded by something called Tuition Revenue Bonds (TRB), which are floated by tuition and fees. Senator Seliger’s Senate Bill 150 would spend about $2.9 billion on 64 projects. The largest of those would be $90 million for a health and biomedical sciences center at the University of Houston.
