The groundbreaking ceremony – held at the building’s future site at 545 E. Canfield Street in Midtown Detroit – brought together state, local and university leaders alongside faculty, staff, students and community members.
“This new building represents Wayne State’s deep and enduring commitment to improving the health and economic strength of Detroit, our region and the state of Michigan,” said Dr. Kimberly Andrews Espy, WSU president. “Here, our world-class biomedical researchers, clinicians, students and community partners will come together to solve some of the most pressing health challenges of our time, and to ensure discoveries more quickly reach the people who need them most.”
“Wayne State is a national leader in university research and discovery, holding the Carnegie Foundation’s top tier, R1 ranking for more than 30 years. I am particularly proud that this least year, we clocked a campus record in sponsored research, an all-time high of $292 million,” Dr. Espy said.
