In June the CMU Board of Trustees formally approved construction of the new $100M MyMichigan Health CMU Medical Education Building in Saginaw for the Covenant HealthCare College of Medicine.
The MyMichigan Health CMU Medical Education Building will be a premier academic facility with design emphasis uniting all four years of training in one dynamic hub fostering stronger collaboration between students and faculty, accelerating real-world learning, and enhancing mentorship. The new facility will be programmatically scaled to support enrollment growth up to 130 medical students per cohort (current cohort is 105) pending clinical capacity.
