UW Regents approve central campus site for population health building
The University of Washington Board of Regents approved the location for construction of the new building that will support innovation in population health across disciplines.
The roughly 300,000-square-foot building will be located along the east side of 15th Ave. N.E., just south of the intersection with N.E. 40th St. The location is firmly grounded in the heart of the campus while providing a gateway to future development of the west campus and the Innovation District.
The majority of the funding for the $230 million project comes from a transformative $210 million gift from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, with the remaining $20 million coming from state funds.
