The UA College of Medicine- Phoenix
Phoenix is part of the Phoenix Biomedical Campus, a city initiative bringing bioresearch and education to downtown. The State of Arizona and City of Phoenix, as well as other vital community partners, continue to be strong supporters of the college, intent on developing the Phoenix Biomedical Campus as a major biosciences hub and premier provider of medical education. The campus also serves as a major economic engine: At full build-out the Phoenix Biomedical Campus is anticipated to generate an economic impact of $2.1 billion annually.
Though the PBC is already 30-acres of various bioscience and education projects — including the Biomedical Sciences Partnership Building, which was completed in February 2017 — there are plans in place for more than six million square feet of biomedical-related research, academic and clinical facilities. In addition, the University of Arizona Cancer Center at Dignity Health’s St. Joseph’s, a 220,000-square foot outpatient and research facility, opened in 2015.
