Development and Expansion
In 2005, the university unveiled a development master-plan for the medical campus and satellite campuses that is expected to add 3,000,000 sq ft (280,000 m2) to the existing 5,600,000 sq ft (520,000 m2).
- The Master Plan identifies 3 sites for future growth and construction:
- The main 84-acre (340,000 m2) campus of the University of Michigan Health System.
- The Wall Street district across the Huron River from the main campus, currently housing the Kellogg Eye Center.
- A 200-acre (0.81 km2) plot owned by UMHS just east of Ann Arbor, currently housing outpatient centers for geriatrics, psychiatry, and ambulatory surgery.

Famous quotes containing the words development and/or expansion:
“Dissonance between family and school, therefore, is not only inevitable in a changing society; it also helps to make children more malleable and responsive to a changing world. By the same token, one could say that absolute homogeneity between family and school would reflect a static, authoritarian society and discourage creative, adaptive development in children.”
—Sara Lawrence Lightfoot (20th century)
“Artistic genius is an expansion of monkey imitativeness.”
—W. Winwood Reade (1838–1875)
