President Bill Underwood opened the ceremony and described a four-year effort to site a new Mercer School of Medicine campus downtown rather than on the universitys main campus, saying the new complex will catalyze development. He said the medical school portion alone will exceed 150,000 square feet and the cost of that piece will exceed $80,000,000, with collateral development pushing total investment substantially higher.
