UNC president tells Greeley council medical college on track; first cohort expected in 2026–27
Summary
University of Northern Colorado President Andy Feinstein told council the College of Osteopathic Medicine has raised the final steel beam, is in final pre‑accreditation with a site visit pending, expects to admit about 75 students in the first cohort and aims for full capacity of 600 when fully operational.
University of Northern Colorado President Andy Feinstein updated the Greeley City Council on campus developments, emphasizing progress on the College of Osteopathic Medicine and partnerships that tie UNC projects to local economic and civic goals.
Feinstein said construction has reached a milestone with the last steel beam raised and that the project remains on schedule to occupy the building in early June. He said the university is in final stages of pre-accreditation and awaits a site visit from the accrediting body in the coming weeks; if that step succeeds UNC plans to advertise and admit students by mid‑December for a cohort beginning in August, with an initial cohort of roughly 75 students and full enrollment capacity around 600 doctors when fully operational.
Feinstein also described campus-led conservation and water‑use projects near the civic campus and thanked city staff and council for partnerships that supported a seed-spreading conservation event during homecoming. He invited council members and residents to campus events through the fall athletic and arts seasons.
