UT Health Sciences News: $311 Million Approved for Construction of New UT Health Sciences College of Medicine Building
The Tennessee General Assembly Thursday approved the funding of $311 million recommended by Governor Bill Lee for the construction of a new $350 million College of Medicine Interdisciplinary Building at the University of Tennessee Health Sciences.
The 275,000- to 300,000-square-foot building will be located on the Memphis campus on Madison Avenue, between the College of Pharmacy Building at 881 Madison Ave. and the recently demolished Holiday Inn building at the corner of Madison Avenue and Pauline Street.
"This is a transformative step for UT Health Sciences, as well as for health and health care of the people of Tennessee," said Chancellor Peter Buckley, MD. "Tennessee currently ranks near the bottom in overall health outcomes. This building will serve as a hub for training future health care professionals to practice collaborative, state-of-the-art care across Tennessee."
