A new era of health begins here
Downtown Phoenix is the future site of the ASU Health headquarters, expected to open in time for the fall 2028 semester. The estimated 200,000 square foot building will include new and existing schools with a focus on advancing health care, research and discovery, and treatment. The headquarters is located in the heart of the Phoenix Bioscience Core innovation zone, a cluster of industry leaders spearheading research on the world’s most important health science discoveries.
The headquarters will blend medicine, technology, engineering and humanities, preparing graduates to drive innovation and improve health outcomes.
The School of Medicine and Advanced Medical Engineering is a new kind of medical school that will produce physicians who blend medicine, engineering, technology and humanities. Graduates will leverage new tools such as artificial intelligence and data science to connect with more patients, seek innovative practices and improve health outcomes.
The School of Technology for Public Health is establishing a new field that will reimagine public health in the 21st century, and create more integrative, responsive, and resilient systems to protect the health of people in Arizona and beyond. Graduates will integrate digital technology with data-driven decision-making and make a significant focus on local impact within public health.

We’re not just building a medical school. We’re not just building a public health school. We’re not just doing a few new things under some label. We’re trying to take the assets of the most innovative university in the United States and apply it to the new class of problems.

ASU Health headquarters joins health corridor downtown
Located between Fourth and Fifth streets, from Fillmore Street north to Pierce Street, this site was selected because it is in the heart of the Phoenix Bioscience Core innovation zone, a cluster of industry leaders spearheading research on the world’s most important health science discoveries. Construction on the new building is slated for completion in 2028.
Until then, ASU Health will be headquartered a few blocks south at The Mercado in downtown Phoenix. The Mercado, a part of ASU since 1999, currently is the home for several different programs including the Edson College of Nursing and Health Innovation’s student services office and simulation lab. This space will be renovated to include students enrolled in the ASU School of Medicine and Advanced Medical Engineering.
Collaboration to advance health
Clinical partners, led by HonorHealth, the primary clinical affiliate for the new School of Medicine and Advanced Medical Engineering will co-locate in the headquarters. ASU will continue to work closely with other prominent medical and health institutions in the Valley including its alliance with The Mayo Clinic and close working relationship with Phoenix Children’s Hospital.
With a focus on the strengths and benefits of a multidisciplinary approach, ASU Health will work closely with colleges across the university to advance health standards.
The university’s existing College of Health Solutions and Edson College of Nursing and Health Innovation, along with the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering, will be primary contributors to the new medical school. In addition, students from the W. P. Carey School of Business are expected work on solutions to supply chain challenges experienced by hospitals. Students at the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication have been invited to work with ASU Health on how to better communicate health solutions to the public. More collaboration within the university will advance as new deans at the School of Medicine and Advanced Medical Engineering, and the School of Technology for Public Health develop plans and organizational depth in these new schools.
