Arizona State University (ASU) recently announced plans for an estimated 200,000-square-foot building that will serve as ASU Health’s new headquarters. Sited on a city-owned vacant lot, the multistory School of Medicine and Advanced Medical Engineering facility, designed by CO Architects in collaboration with DFDG Architecture and being constructed by McCarthy Building Companies, will join the University of Arizona College of Medicine-Phoenix and several biotech research companies at the downtown Phoenix Bioscience Core. 

Facility features are projected to include virtual anatomy and clinical-skills laboratories, exam rooms, classrooms, study spaces, administrative offices, and a simulation center with mock operating and emergency rooms.

Development costs are estimated between $200 million and $230 million. Construction is expected to commence early next year and is scheduled for completion in 2028.
