Community Project Funding/Congressionally Directed Spending - Construction - Address: Morehouse School of Medicine 720 Westview Drive Atlanta, GA 30310 Project Director: Walter Douglas Phone Number: 404-752-6683 Email: wdouglas@msm.edu Funds Requested: $950,000 The purpose of this project is for the Morehouse School of Medicine to expand the academic and research capabilities of the institution by constructing a new academic and research building. The recent growth in size and diversity of the student body and faculty is not only necessary to train more healthcare, public health, and biomedical professionals committed to medically underserved communities, but also requires expanded space and resources on campus. More classrooms, learning communities, research laboratories, and common spaces for knowledge sharing are all needed to meet the needs of a growing student and faculty population. The proposed building will provide 100,000 square feet of additional space at a projected cost of $100M. This $950,000 request will assist with the next phase of design and programming for the building. While this essential new structure will expand the school’s ability to train scholastically and culturally competent leaders, it will, just as importantly, include convening space that will allow Morehouse School of Medicine to continue its long tradition of inviting community organizations to gather and interact with the future leaders that will serve these communities.
