The
Central Michigan University College of Medicine just keeps building, with the latest news being that a second Saginaw facility will get underway next year.
Construction will start in the spring of 2015 on a CMU College of Medicine building at the St. Mary's of Michigan hospital campus in Saginaw. The plans were recently approved by the CMU Board of Trustees for a $12 million construction and renovation project connected to the hospital.
The new construction will be about 17,000 square feet and include internal medicine and senior health care clinics, along with a neuroscience center. It will be attached to the renovation of about 9,700 square feet of the current St. Mary's Health Education Center, including two classrooms and a 250-seat auditorium. The project is expected to be finished by the summer of 2016.
The whole thing is funded by CMU Medical Education Partners, which is made up of the CMU College of Medicine, St. Mary’s of Michigan and Covenant HealthCare, with additional help from Central Michigan University and private donations.
It joins a $25 million, 46,000-square-foot main educational building for the College of Medicine, now under construction on the campus of Covenant Healthcare in Saginaw, which should be completed in May of 2015.
