The John P. McGovern Texas Medical Center Commons is located in the heart of the Texas Medical Center. The Commons includes a four-level above-grade and two-level below-grade parking facility. It contains a food court and service spaces on the ground level. The roof level includes Trevisio (a fine dining restaurant), a conference center, meeting rooms, private dining rooms, a wine room, a lounge, retail space, offices, and a roof terrace. Along the perimeter of the curved roof promenade are shallow pools of water, which cascade over the side of the structure forming 55-foot-high waterwalls concealing the parking behind them. Pools below at ground level with fountains and lighting re-circulate the water to the upper pools.
