Construction Updates
Look How We’ve Grown If you haven’t been to the Medical Campus recently, you’re in for a surprise. Investments totaling $1.4 billion have been made on the Campus over the past decade, growing from 4.5 million square feet of clinical, research, and development space to nearly 9 million in just over 10 years. A new Children’s hospital, a new Medical School, a new Clinical Sciences Center, and space for private sector companies have all opened recently. The number of employees working on the Medical Campus today is 16,000, up from 7,000 in 2002. Our partners have invested in Campus facilities and enhanced infrastructure leading to a more cohesive and attractive Medical Campus “neighborhood,” coupled with significant neighborhood outreach that has led to a vibrant and engaged community.
