The University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston is the picture of a modern academic medical center. Students hustle across the grounds, rushing to class. Researchers in white coats are hard at work in the Galveston National Laboratory and numerous other research buildings. Patients check in for care at John Sealy Hospital and clinics, and the emergency department\u2019s Level 1 Trauma Center is always at the ready. Standing at the center of it all is a stately red building of a strikingly different style than the rest of campus. The Ashbel Smith Building, or Old Red, was once the entirety of the medical school, flanked by its clinical facility, the original John Sealy Hospital. Although Old Red is now surrounded on all sides by more than a century of progress, the building still serves as a reminder of the university\u2019s humble beginnings as the first state medical school in Texas.<\/p>\n

The founding of UTMB in Galveston began with a vote. In an 1881 state referendum, the people of Texas overwhelmingly selected Galveston as the site\u00a0of the medical branch of the University of Texas\u201470 percent of voters chose Galveston over Houston. At the time, Galveston was a bustling seaport town\u2014one of the largest ports in the United States and the commercial center of Texas. State funds secured the school\u2019s location on the eastern end of The Strand and architect Nicholas Clayton was hired to design it. Clayton was one of the first professional architects in the state of Texas, and his work was already known on the island.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cIn the height of his career, from 1874 to 1906, he did 225 buildings in Galveston alone,\u201d said medical historian Heather Wooten, Ph.D. \u201cEverything from the beautiful Bishop\u2019s Palace on Broadway, to a lot of the old established churches like the First Presbyterian. His contribution cannot be underestimated.\u201d<\/p>\n

Though Clayton was prolific throughout the island, Old Red was a particularly significant project for the architect. Built of red sandstone and granite, topped with a dome and covered with ornate Romanesque Revival details, Old Red was a work of art.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n

“Of all those beautiful buildings he designed throughout Galveston, and also throughout Texas, Old Red was really one of his babies,\u201d said Wooten. \u201cWhat he thought was his masterpiece.\u201d<\/p>\n

On Oct. 5, 1891, what was officially known as the Medical College Building opened its doors to the first students\u2014just 14 first-year students, five second-year students, four third-year students\u2014and 13 faculty members. At that time, medical school lasted three years and did not require any college prerequisites. Though the students were green compared to today\u2019s medical students, the faculty was not easy on them.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey may have had a very raw group of students, but their standards were the top,\u201d said Wooten. \u201cIt was like, \u2018Just because our student body is struggling does not mean we lower our standards to meet them. They are to climb and reach it.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Those first years were a time of growth for UTMB. By 1897, the student body comprised over 200 students and a fourth year of curriculum was added. But just about a decade in, during the summer of 1900, a disaster happened that almost destroyed UTMB, as well as the entire island of Galveston.<\/p>\n

Early Sept. 7, 1900, the national Weather Bureau issued a storm warning for the Gulf Coast region. Galvestonians watched clouds gather, but even as waves swelled and winds howled, no one could have predicted how bad it would become.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n

The full force of the hurricane hit Sept. 8. By the time it was over, between 6,000 and 8,000 lives were lost in Galveston, and the majority of the island\u2019s structures were destroyed.<\/p>\n

Nicholas Clayton rode out the storm in Galveston, and was shocked to find much of his life\u2019s work still standing, including Old Red. Though badly damaged, it fared better than most buildings on the island. The walls were intact, but most of the roof was destroyed, as was the dome.<\/p>\n

UTMB physicians tended\u00a0to the injured. Just days after the storm, a telegram from Beauregard Bryan, a regent\u00a0of the University of Texas, declared, \u201cThe University of Texas stops for no storm.\u201d It became a rallying cry for the campus, and two short months after the hurricane, UTMB opened its doors again. In fact, thanks to the UT regents\u2019 generosity, UTMB was repaired and restored to be better than ever.<\/p>\n

“We honor our long history of accomplishment and service by staying focused on the future.” — David L. Callender, M.D., President of The University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The next decades saw a highly anticipated visit from President Franklin Delano Roosevelt in 1937, and new construction as the medical school outgrew Old Red. Another local disaster, the Texas City explosion in 1947, called upon UTMB physicians to care for about 800 of those who were injured when a ship carrying nitrate-based fertilizer exploded, killing nearly 600 and injuring over 3,000. Truman Blocker Jr., M.D., a professor and chief of plastic and maxillofacial surgery at the time of the disaster oversaw treatment of the victims.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Blocker became world-renowned for his work with burn victims, much of which was inspired by the victims of the Texas City explosion, still to this day the worst industrial disaster in U.S. history. As a result, Blocker was largely responsible for bringing the Shriners Hospitals for Children to the UTMB campus in the 1960s, making UTMB the location of the very first of the Shriners\u2019 burns institutes. In 1967, the UT regents named him the first president of UTMB. The burn treatment center in John Sealy Hospital, one of the world\u2019s leading burn facilities, is called the Blocker Burn Unit.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n

The mid-1900s represented a bit of a shift in focus for UTMB. Chauncey Leake, Ph.D., became dean of UTMB in 1942 and during his 13-year tenure brought an increased emphasis on research. Leake expanded academic programs on campus and offered increased laboratory space to faculty.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe really pushed that a medical school is not just a teaching school, it is a research institution,\u201d said Wooten.<\/p>\n

While the expansion of the university brought about exciting developments, it also nearly caused the demise of Old Red. In the 1960s, the building was set to be demolished in order to build a parking lot.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cBy the \u201860s, it was pretty much used for subsidiary offices or storage. It did not have the same importance anymore,\u201d\u00a0said Wooten. \u201cWith technology advancing, Old Red couldn\u2019t handle it and became obsolete.\u201d<\/p>\n

Armond Goldman, M.D., a UTMB graduate and professor in the Department of Pediatrics for nearly five decades, recalled the discussion happening at the time.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe thought was, \u2018Well, there\u2019s this old building here, and we can use it to attract more patients to come in, so when they park they\u2019ll be very close to the campus and hospitals,\u2019\u201d he said. \u201cI think it was misguided, but I understand.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n

Outcry from alumni and faculty members, however, was fierce.<\/p>\n

\u201cJust about every physician in Texas at that time had gone\u00a0to UTMB. There were only two medical schools in the state\u2014UTMB and Baylor,\u201d said Wooten. \u201cThe vast majority had gone to UTMB and took classes in Old Red, so it was like taking a part of their identity, part of their heart.\u201d<\/p>\n

Goldman echoed those sentiments from the faculty point of view.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat building held a sort of spirit to the faculty who helped educate in it,\u201d he said. \u201cOur species is very interested in symbols. For UTMB, Old Red was the principal symbol and they felt they couldn\u2019t do without it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Through aggressive fundraising, the building was saved and went through extensive renovations in the 1980s, costing a total of $6.4 million. The Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences and the Institute for the Medical Humanities were moved into the building, which was rededicated in April of 1986. The Institute for the Medical Humanities was first in the U.S. to offer a Ph.D. degree in medical humanities. Wooten later earned her Ph.D.\u2014taking classes in Old Red\u2014and wrote a book about the building\u2019s history.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re going up this huge cedar staircase. It has all the creaks and everything of an ancient staircase. You\u2019re going in these halls that are huge, high-ceilinged, and when you shut the door it reverberates\u2014\u2018boom\u2019. All of that gave this sense of history to it. You are in a place where so many other people have been.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Thanks to the efforts to\u00a0save it, Old Red is now a part of UTMB\u2019s future, one that continues the legacy of research set into motion by Leake. In 2003, the National Institutes of Health selected UTMB as the site of the Galveston National Laboratory, one of two such laboratories in the United States. It contains Biosafety Level 4 laboratories, where researchers study naturally occurring diseases like SARS, West Nile, and Ebola, as well as countermeasures for microbes that could potentially be used in bioterrorism.<\/p>\n

In 2008, UTMB was\u00a0again devastated by a storm: Hurricane Ike. The storm surge flooded the ground floors of buildings throughout campus, and the amount in damages\u00a0was astronomical. But again, \u201cThe University of Texas stops for no storm.\u201d After almost\u00a0seven years and $1 billion in repairs and improvements,\u00a0the campus is thriving once more. A new hospital is under construction, the Jennie Sealy Hospital. Located on the site of the recently demolished Jennie Sealy Building and old Shriners building, it will contain 310 patient rooms and 20 operating suites. The $438-million facility is expected to be completed later in 2015 and operational in 2016. UTMB recently began operating the Angleton Danbury Medical Center, and will open another hospital and emergency department at its League City location.<\/p>\n

UTMB, which will celebrate its 125th anniversary in 2016, has been home to many firsts for the state of Texas\u2014the first university-affiliated nursing school in the U.S. in 1896, the first female physician to graduate in 1897, the first African-American physician to graduate in 1953, the first school of health professions in the state. Even as the institution looks forward to a future of more innovation and discovery, it remains dedicated to its legacy and storied past.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n

\u201cWe\u2019re proud of our legacy,\u201d said UTMB president David L. Callender, M.D. \u201cWe honor our long history of accomplishment and service by staying focused on the future. The future of health care lies in the hands of people like our researchers, clinicians and educators. Texans are proud of our heritage and UTMB is an integral part of our state\u2019s medical history and future.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cYou really don\u2019t know who you are unless you know where you\u2019ve been and where you\u2019ve come from,\u201d added Wooten. \u201cIt was all about the patient…All the compassion, empathy, research and burning the night oil was to make this profession an altruistic profession.\u201d<\/p>\n

That mission of bettering the health of society remains a constant, from UTMB\u2019s humble beginnings in that single red building, to the busy, vibrant campus it is today.<\/p>\n
