Mayo Is Building the Future of Education and Research in Arizona

Integrated Education and Research Building

Arizona. Bold. Forward. is Mayo Clinic‘s largest and most visionary campus expansion project to date. The Integrated Education and Research Building marks the conclusion of this monumental capital expansion that more than doubled the campus square-footage and offers expanded capacity and new capabilities. A defining hallmark of Arizona. Bold. Forward. is the 150,000-square-foot Integrated Education and Research Building, which celebrates the ingenuity of teamwork that has characterized Mayo Clinic since its inception.

The building on Mayo Clinic’s Phoenix campus greatly expands education and research space for a seamless transition from biomedical education and research to patient care. Here, students and trainees will learn alongside physicians and researchers, gain hands-on experience, and expand their network of peers. Scientists, students, and trainees are challenged to pioneer new scientific discoveries and given access to the resources and support to make that possible.

Discoveries made through this integrated approach will enhance the way people experience Mayo Clinic care — whether at one of our physical locations or virtually. This unified location for education and research allows for intentional collaboration with each other and new and existing partners, such as Arizona State University.

The three-story building expands Mayo’s education and research collaboration with the practice to better serve the complex unmet needs of patients.
