Spokane legislative visit includes tour of UW-Gonzaga medical education building

Representative Marcus Riccelli joined External Affairs staff members last week for a construction site tour of the future Regional Health Partnership building in Spokane. The UW School of Medicine and Gonzaga University entered into a public-private partnership with McKinstry, who is developing and will manage the building.

The four-story, 90,000-square-foot building is scheduled to open July 2023 and will serve more than 600 UW and Gonzaga medical and health sciences students. The facility will include state-of-the-art teaching classrooms, anatomy labs, research and innovation centers, study space, offices, and space to embark on shared research.

While in Spokane, the external affairs team also had the opportunity to meet with Senate Majority Leader Andy Billig to thank him for his support during legislative session and to connect on the UW projects happening in Spokane.

Thank you, Rep. Riccelli and Sen. Billig for your continued support of the UW.
