Under
the direction of the Fitzsimons Redevelopment Authority,
(FRA) the 578-acre Fitzsimons site is undergoing a $4.3-billion
renovation and trasformation into a square mile dedicated
to excellence in patient care, education, basic science
research and bioscience research and development. As
projects are completed during the next 20 years, the
Fitzsimons site will evolve into one of the most advanced
bioscientific communities in the world.
Redevelopment
anchors
The
redevelopment effort is anchored by the 227-acre campus
of the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center
(UCHSC) and Hospital (UCH) and the affiliated 160-acre
Colorado Bioscience Park Aurora. The proximity of these
anchors will provide significant opportunities to transfer
discoveries into the stream of commerce
at an accelerated rate.
Support
offers tremendous advantages
With
unprecedented support from city, state and federal entities,
the Fitzsimons master plan calls for up to 15-million
square feet of phased new construction. At buildout,
more than 32,000 people will be employed at Fitzsimons.
From
biotech research and discovery to patient care and education,
to economic impacts to enhanced quality of life, Fitzsimons
is truly an initiative of monumental importance--for
the City of Aurora, State of Colorado, the country and
the world. We encourage you to explore this Web site
to learn more about the largest medical-related redevelopment
project in the nation. |
